​​snowglobe

I didn't remember much
When I slept at night
My dreams would come and go
Like cars at a traffic light
The few things that would stick in my mind
Were random bits of absurdity
Except for one that I wondered why
Always refused to leave
A tiny snowglobe
The size of my hand
It would grant one wish
At my command
One night I was
Given the chance
But what I chose
Would take years to understand

"I want to be a girl"
That's what I said
And the snowglobe lit up
And the hair grew on my head
My jeans turned to a skirt
And my shirt turned to a sweater
I didn't understand
Why everything felt better

Just as quickly as it started
It suddenly came to an end
I was seven years old
It was something i couldn't comprehend
Is this magic?
Am I supposed to feel this way?
I wish way back
I could see myself say

It's alright
It'll all make sense one day
It's alright
Everything will be okay
It's alright
It'll all make sense one day
It's alright
Everything will be okay
It's alright
It'll all make sense one day
It's alright
Everything will be okay
It's alright
It'll all make sense one day
It's alright
Everything will be okay
