I want the silence of a mouse<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

like the doll that sits at the end of the bed <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or a ghost no one can argue with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like the fish at the bottom of the sea<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rocks that stay silent even if you shout<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want a friend who never turns their back on me<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the swans who stay together for life<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or the bees that work together to build a hive <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I just want to feel included<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want no insecurities <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be happy even if words are said<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to quit\u00a0when things get difficult<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the clock that keeps ticking even if it’s told to stop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want freedom<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the birds with a large wingspan <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or the butterflies that come and go throughout spring<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want peace.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
