She wants to be a unicorn

She wants to fly the sky

She wants to have a million bucks

And never have to tell us why.

She wants to be the favorite

She wants to have it all

She wants to eat the richest foods

And refuses to stay small.

She wants to be a brainiac

She wants some inner peace

She wants and wants and wants some more

And never finds relief.

.

But then one day it happens

At the last page of a book

She learns to see quite vibrantly

All the truths she’s overlooked:

She is a god damn cheetah

She’s as vibrant as they come

She’s allowed to have desires

To shine as brightly as the sun.

.

Her wants don’t make her needy

Ungrateful, too much even–

She’ll no longer ask directions

To where other’s haven’t been.

.

She wants to be a unicorn

She wants to fly the sky

She wants to have a million bucks

And damn it, so do I.
