I wish, and I wonder..

[meowynic]

Sometimes I seriously wish i was just a cat.
Then all I'll hafta do is eat, sleep, lie in the sun, look pretty, and purrrrrr...

So easily contented are they...
so easily amused are they..!

Sometimes I wish I wasn't human.
That I wasn't full of emotions
That I wasn't as capable of thinking and (over)analysing

Sometimes I wish I didn't have feelings
Even tho' animals have feelings too their lives aren't nearly as complicated

It's such a joy to be human and to be alive
And yet it's also so painful and heart-wrenching to be human and to breathe

Sometimes I wish I was a bird
Able to freely sore in the sky without a care in the world

With no ties that bind
With no baggage to hold me back and cause me to lag behind

Sometimes I wish I was an ocean fish
Able to escape from the rest of the world
Into the calm and peaceful deep blue sea
Away from the hustle and bustle, worry-free

Sometimes I wish I didn't dream
To just be a simpleton stressing less, able to just be me

Maybe then I wouldn't have so many hang-ups, frustration, anger or rage in me

Sometimes I wish I didn't try so hard
Or maybe not try at all
This way then it wouldn't hurt so much when I fall
