stop wishing

I want to stop wishing upon every shooting star 

and counting down to 11:11. I want to stop hoping 

my wish will come true with every silver penny in 

the lake and every wishbone broke. I want to stop 

blowing dandelions and candles as though they hold 

my future, I want to sweep away my fallen lashes 

without closing my eyes so tight that they hurt 

just to hope for another silly wish to be granted.
