I want to
Stand tall,
Straighten my back,
And be more measured
With my words,
When you look at me.
_____________________
I want to end
World wars,
And put out fires
With my bare hands…
_____________________
I want to conjure up
A flat stomach,
And flutter my eyelashes
Awkwardly
When you look at me.
_____________________
In your eyes,
I am the stars,
Twinkling,
Shining,
_____________________
A celestial cluster
Of diamonds
Hovering above the earth.
