Hopeful Trivialities

If anything I

Would hope 

Things are getting better

I made some

Wishes

One of those rare

Times

I let myself

Wish for something

Personal

That isn’t survival

The bitter edges of

Reality

Can’t be felt 

Until you rub 

Salt

In the wounds

So I wished for 

Something frivolous

Or maybe it’s more

Important

Than that

But it seemed

Trivial

And I hope it 

Comes true
