I don't remember wanting anything this badly
I want to be okay on Thursday
and the day after that
I want to wake up okay on Friday and see my family on SaturdayI do really want in
and not like I've selfishly wanted every other thing
I want it like maybe I deserve it but am not entirely sure if I do
I've never really known these things
I want it like maybe there's someone or something out there who knows
someone who could vouch for me
tell the one in charge that this girl
she must be okay because she's deserved itmaybe that's how it works
maybe it isn't
but I am putting my wish out there
in case it is worth anything
