Composition, 2nd Period

  Today in my 2nd period, which is Composition, I have a really awesome teacher if I say so myself. She makes us write everyday. Well today she made us write about this song that Pearl Jam preformed, which is WishList. She said to write about anything that came to mind like starting ever sentence with I Wish I Was or I Wish. It didn't really matter as long as it related to the song.

                             I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off

I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

                  So tell me what would you say? Personally I really like what the song writer said here. It really tells you lot. It's not just saying stupid useless things. This guy wants to be number 1. He wants to be your whole world. He wants to actually MATTER; He wants to be wanted by that one person and nobody else, someone to be remembered.

  Do any of you feel that way? Do you want to belong to somebody?

     I think we all secretly want to be wanted. to be that one persons special something only for them and them only. So think about it for awhile. It's not only a great song but the lyrics tell a story. 

   Now the assignment doesn't necessarily have to mean something. It could be a real legit wish list. What do you want out of the world? What do you want for your birthday? Anything. Okay so here's mine:

                                                                            Wish List

                                                    I wish I was a race car, the fastest one out there

                                                    I wish I was a skyscraper, the tall one in the big city

                                                    I wish I was your flower

                                                    I wish I was the paint on your walls

                                                    I wish I was a book you read all the time

                                                    I wish I was a favorite song that was played when you're sad

                                                    I wish I was a thought that was an idea that was a plan that was carried

                                                    out     

                                                    I wish I was the first and last clap in the audience

                                                    I wish I was the girl with the silly hair and bubbly personality

                                                    I wish I was the nail that held everything together

                                                    I wish I was the picture frame that held your best memories

                                                    I wish I was the happy tune in your head
