Making a wish come true....is up to you

 

When all the neighbours children

are finally asleep,

when all the city's noises

withdraw into the deep,

when stars come out of hiding

and the streets succumb to lighting,

this is when the time has come

for her to shed her lawyer's gown,

to pour herself a burgundy red

to toss her "armour" on the bed.

 

Another glass of the burgundy red,

holds in check all lingering dread,

muffle the voices from a painful past,

controlling parents and thoughtless remarks.

 

In this her world, she rules supreme,

no judge, no jury, to crush her dreams.

No gallery of people with accusatory eyes,

probing her integrity, probing her size.

In this her world, she is absolutely free,

to only ever see, what she wants to see.

 

She strikes a pose infront of the mirror,

and she sees herself, only much, much thinner.

Wishful thinking can seem very real

when the truth is blurry or wilfully concealed.

Wishful thinking, many dictionaries tells us is seeing something as we wish something to be rather than how things really are. For example: We may wish we were taller, but no amount of wishing will make it so, but what we can do, is alter how we think about ourselves.

Merely wishing, we remain on the starting line, once we ask ourselves what we can do to make our wishes a reality, .....we begin the race.

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." (Guatama Buddha)
