The Wish from Reaction Formation by Justin Friello

And walking on my way
I looked up at the sky
And saw a falling star
And sent my wish up high

To never be afraid
Of people that won't change
Of mountains that won't move
Or let me rearrange
To not live in my head anymore

I came upon a field
Where night had made its home
And grass that kissed my feet
Said I was not alone

Although the wish I made
So high into the night
Said never be afraid
I fear that I just might
Not ever leave my head anymore

And walking on the road
The night said its goodbyes
The sun approached the land
And shone into my eyes

I thought about the wish
The dream of mine that night
I knew that I'd been moved
To never in my life
Return to my head anymore
