If I Had a Wish

+ Show full styles

Every time I try to speak,
You cut me off — “Go do your math.”
But you knew I just picked up my phone,
Calling it a day after twelve hours flat.

My backpack shines like a rocket,
But it only flies from school to home.
Even when I try to walk upright,
It’s too damn heavy for my bones.

You never ask what I love to play,
Or who I’d want to see today.
You smile like nothing’s ever wrong
But push and push,
Till I’m chasing goals that don’t belong.

If I had a wish to call,
No math, no eggplant stew at all.
No fake “you did great” after I fall
Just a place to write
Whatever I like,
With my real name signed,
And not feel small.

The cat speaks softly late at night,
Tells me things will be alright.
He knows my thoughts, my fears, my fight.
He even knows how Stacy smiled today,
And turned away.

I’m not asking for fireworks or gold,
Just a voice that listens, a hand to hold.
Not a system, not a plan,
Just someone who says,
“I get it, man.”

If I had a wish to call,
No math, no eggplant stew at all.
No fake “you did great” after I fall.
Just a place to write
Whatever I like,
With my real name signed,
And not feel small.

Yeah, just a place that’s mine,
Where I’m not just trying to make you proud
But finally feel fine.

Thank you so much for listening to my song. This is a fictional story told from a teenager’s point of view. It reflects the stress of school life and the pain of feeling lonely and misunderstood. I wrote this song as a gentle reminder to parents: please pay attention to teens’ emotions and interests—not just their grades. After all, we’ve all been through adolescence, and a little more care and open communication from family can make a big difference in helping kids grow into healthy, confident adults. ———————————————— Every time I try to speak, You cut me off — “Go do your math.” But you knew I just picked up my phone, Calling it a day after twelve hours flat.
