10 things i wish i could change (more of a list than a poem)



so many things
i wish i could change.
but it's easy to say
what the top ten are-
1. I wish my best was enough for my parents instead of them pushing me to do "better".
2. that life was as easy as it looks.
3. that i wasn't such a freak
4. that i wasn't afraid to express myself.
5. that school reflected the amendments (it really doesn't. what happened to our freedom of speech?!? What about our rights?!?!)
6. that pictures always come out exactly right.
7. i wish i wasn't so invisible!
8. that my thoughts on political matters would be heard.
9. that i would relax rather than worrying and freaking out and caring what others think.
10. that gym and math wasn't necessary.

:) PLZ???!!!?!?!?!?! {insert innocent smile and puppy dog eyes}

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
