A Wish For Somewhere Else Poem by Jessie Li here

I wish that I could walk on water
I'd walk across the ocean blue
If only I could walk on water
I'd see so many places new.

I wish that I would sprout wings
Just so I could fly
I would fly forever
Running my fingers through the crystal sky

I wish for the ground I run on
Will take me away to the new tide
Just let me go through
Or trap me inside

I wish to take a weapon of ash
And my burning hatred from somewhere
Set a bottle to my temple
If it'll get me away from here

I wish for somewhere
Just take me to my new world
Not anywhere near here
Please let my wish come true

A wish for somewhere else
A wish for somewhere new
