Making Wishes Come True
By Ashley O’Hare
Naive wishes on stars,
eyelashes,
and dandelions;
hoping beyond reason
to leave my mark
before facing oblivion.
Maybe one day
I will stick to my identity
and stop being a chameleon.
Gaining acceptance
is not worth my loss of self,
so I will hop off the band wagon.
I will uncover my mirrors
and smile through the pain
like positivity is going out of fashion.
