Ducks
May 25, 2015
I wish I could disappear like the ducks from the pond.
I wish I could stay frozen under an icy sheet of glass and barely live.
I wish people would wonder about my life as much as I worry about those ducks.
I wish I could soak up nutrients so I wouldn't have to worry about eating or drinking. Such menial and boring tasks.
I guess I just wish that I could be anything but me.
