great expectations

star light, star bright
first star i see tonight,
i wish i may, i wish i might,
have the wish i wish tonight.

i hate the way they box me up, wrap me in tissue, tie a bow around the top. tying me in place. "this is your future" they say.

uncle says it's not long 'til i'm finished my degree now. he says then i'll get married and live happily ever after. mum says that i better start looking for the white horse prince now.

what if he never comes? the prince i mean. and what if those are not my dreams? what if i don't know who i am or what i want? i wish i knew.

i wish i was free.

i wish i was happy again.

  1. This is beautiful but sad... You are an amazing writer =). I'm sorry it feels like this though. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll find your dreams and you deserve to be happy again - and the prince will come if it's meant to be =) Take care, Night_Flower xx

  2. This is exactly how I've been feeling ever since I've gotten to college. I thought that I knew exactly what I wanted, and I thought that because I got into my dream school it was sure to happen.

    Of course, things usually don't usually work out like that...

    Anyhow, I think that, in time, all dreams reveal themselves... and pump your life full of extra meaning.

    Never give up.

  4. Remember it's YOUR future. You can wait around for your prince, or you can just live life as best as you can, trying to make yourself happy. You don't have to know what you want or what your dreams are. Life is an adventure--go play. :D
