Three Wishes by The Pierces
We'd be so less fragile
If we're made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
If we built an armour
For our tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we strive to feel
And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day**
If your lover ever takes her love away
You say you want to know her like a lover
And undo her damage, she'll be new again
Soon you'll find that if you try to save her
It renews her anger
You will never win
And you want three wishes:
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day**
If your lover ever takes her love away
You want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And a clean conscience
And all it's blisses
You want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never vicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away
I always thought people were stupid for not wishing for a million other wishes with one of their initial three wishes. But then again, that totally defeats the purpose of having three wishes to start with. What you wish for reflects your values and standards, and your top 3 wishes show what you value most. Wishing for a gazillion other wishes would reflect one's own greedy nature, aye?
But seriously, I have a 4 page report for CAFS due on Thurs and I'm nowhere near finished :( I wish I was more studious and more of a geek people saw me as. Oh, but some don't see me as a geek 8-) Hope that someone is reading this or else I'll just sound totally big headed.
You'd expect girls in Teen Pageants to wish for world peace or just peace in general. Pop quiz: How would we know we were at peace if we were always at peace? Without some sort of war we'd be completely oblivious to the state we live in. How do we know what peace is like? By seeing all the devastation and terror in the news, hearing about it from a friend, experiencing it. After that, we know peace is the exact opposite. So no, I wouldn't be wishing for world peace. That's not something us humans are capable of sustaining over a long period of time. Not on Earth, anyways. I believe I will find eternal bliss and be at peace once I'm in Heaven, given that I be a good girl :)
So if I don't wish for peace, what else could I wish for? I read another interesting article in CAFS the other day, it was based on communication between males and females, particularly couples. They say what men want the most is to be loved whereas women want to be understood. Understood. Totally. Deffie. Agreed. Not that women don't want to be loved but heck, you gotta understand us to love us as well. Wouldn't you men just love to somehow comprehend a fifth of our actions? Okay, that's a double-edged sword. The life and times of a female tween is particularly difficult to experience itself. Understanding it could be tough but it'd allow you to understand the woman behind the chaos and all. So my wish to be understood would give me a peace of mind. It'd be amazing to find someone who understood me since I don't even understand myself some days.
So Jenny, you're down to your last wish. What ever could it be? I could save it for a rainy day** (song reference), but you know me, I splurge. I'm the suckkiest saver evurrrr! Quitter, sucks at saving. There's a correlation (!) I could stick to the oh-so-cliche wish to 'find love' but from wish-speak literally translated to English, that means: I want to open my eyes.
Oh, don't you get it?! Love is everywhere. From your mother's sweat to your existing friendships to a stranger's kindness - they're signs of their love for you. So open your eyes. Ever sat and wondered why your mum bothers cooking for your family, why the heck she spends all her time cleaning? Why do you have friends? (No, really). They love you, right? They're not just people who hang around 'just because'. They value your friendship and acknowledge your importance. By "a stranger's kindness", I don't imply stalkerish love but their simple act of common courtesy surely cannot be out of hate. I don't mean full-romance love either. There are many different types of love, but that's another entry.
I think I'd save my last wish, for now. I should go to sleep earlier tonight, goodness, I've been going to bed at like, 2am on a regular basis. UNHEALTHY!!!! Not only is it unhealthy, but I need sleep if I'm gonna wake up 10 minutes earlier tomorrow morning. I'm usually arriving to school on the bell or late but tomorrow I gotta hand in my Biology excursion note in the morning. Yes, the excursion is tomorrow. Yes, it's that wonderful journey to the creek I was talking about in a previous post. Yes, I'm super excited (!) NB: For all you n00bs, (!) is an indication of sarcasm.
Huzzah, 5 periods of creek watching awaits.
You know you love me,
xoxo
