Poetry On Odyssey: Dear Genie

I wish all mosquitoes would die

This is another one of my more fun poems that I have written. I enjoy writing light-hearted poems as well as meaningful poems. I'm just not as confident in my more meaningful prose and poetry yet.

I hope that you enjoy! It was lots of fun to write and edit. Hopefully, it inspires you to write one like it or at least makes you think about what you really wish for.

Dear Genie

I wish I could fly

I wish magic was real

I wish I didn't have to grow up

I wish all mosquitoes would die

I wish I could see the future

I wish I could dance

I wish I was famous

I wish there was world peace

I wish I could eat Doritos every day

I wish crime didn't exist

I wish I could marry a movie star

I wish I would fall in love

I wish I could act

I wish my dog hadn't died

I wish cancer didn't exist

I wish I had a new dog

I wish I would stop living in my dreams

I wish my wishes would come true

I wish everything was free

I wish I was in London

I wish it was springtime all the time

I wish I could physically live in my dreams

I wish I wasn't afraid of werewolves

I wish I could write better

I wish for 25 more wishes

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Relationships

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
