DailyBooth

First off, this will be the only time you will ever see this sword. It belonged to my grandfather and if it wasn't for this booth, I never would have dug it out of my closet.

I'm not Superman. I can't fly around and have bullets bounce off of me or see through things or run at the speed of light.

I'm not Batman, I'm not Wonder Woman..

But I sure wish I was. Not for the fact that they are awesome, but because they have something they can use to help people.

I wish I could do just that. Help. Make things better. But I don't have the money, nor the smarts, nor the voice to speak out and be heard and do something about those that suffer.

But I wish I could. I wish I could just turn the TV on and not hear about someone being raped and killed or people being taken from their homes or natural disasters destroying everything that someone had been so used to and called their home.

I'd like for everyone to be happy, but things aren't as simple as that. Life is not about being in a state of happiness and peace and everyone be that way. Things happen. Whether they happen for a reason or not, they just happen.

I wish they didn't.

I may not know what it's like to go through horrifying events like a lot of people do, but I do know what it is like to ask why something so bad is happening to you or has happened.

I wish I could change that.

I wish I could take all of my friends' pain away.

It's not as easy as a little wish, though.
