I wish I wasn’t human, with human flaws I wish I could think without being overwhelmed by it all

I wish I could cross the road without being distracted by the sound of a horn, or a flash of light in my eye

I wish I didn’t have to spend so much of my days maintaining, so at its end I might have a moment to play

I wish I had more say in the things I do I wish I could control my reactions too

I wish I acted the same from this day to that I wish the weight of my life wasn’t all on my back

I wish that my body wasn’t so fragile and limp I wish my mind under strain wouldn’t start to skip

I know all these things just come with this life no matter whether I believe it’s wrong or it’s right

But I wish I could tell you what I want, above all without feeling ashamed, or failed, or small

I know you may think that all this wishing of mine is a flaw in itself, a problem self-defined

But I will tell you anyhow what I planned to say if you promise you won’t repeat it alongside my name

Because what I’ve always wanted most of all since before I ever knew how far I could fall

is to be a computer but don’t we all?
