Wishes

A five minute quick poem.

Wishes,
I have too many of them.
They will never be granted,
No matter how long I wait.
Why wish when it will never come true?
Why believe when all you've ever had faith in has let you down?
Why even try anymore?

I wish everything was okay.
I wish the past never happened.
I wish I don't have to face the future.
I wish I wasn't stuck in the present.
I wish I had someone to rescue me.
I wish I was free.

Some wishes are never meant to be,
It seems mine are destined to fall into a pit of ungrantable wishes,
All made by little girls with shattered hearts,
Who want more than to see a fairy,
Who want more than to be a princess,
Who want more than to have a pony.

I wish life was simple.
I wish I could just die.
I wish everything could stop.
I wish, I wish, and I wish, I can't wish anymore.

All my wishes fall out of the sky on shooting stars,
Disappearing into the sea,
Sinking into the black darkness,
Never resurfacing.

I've only ever had one wish granted,
Someone came to rescue me,
Reached out a hand to save me.
He is a blessing, he is amazing, he is my treasure.
I thank the star that sent him to me.
 
I just wish I could have one more wish though.
I would wish to not wish,
For every wish is but another crushed hope,
Another dream that will never come true,
Another tear to fill up my ocean,
All they ever cause is pain.
I wish not to wish.

But I can't have another, I'm stuck here,
In the dark, wishing on a shattered heart,
That will never be put back together again.

This was a five minute poem, I know it isn't very good. I needed to get the feelings out though.

Wow. Amazing poem. I love your vocabulary and the way it flows so nicely. It is an amazing poem. Wishes that can't be granted no matter how much we wish them to come true. It's unfortunate that they seldom do but when they are granted...it's a wonderful feeling. I'm glad that this person rescued you. So very glad.

Thank you Legolas. It is very unfortunate. I can't help but wish for things that won't come true, I really can't. It is quite a wonderful feeling. I am glad that he rescued me as well. He is wonderful, a treasure, do rare and exquisite. To the thoughtful eye and to those who know me, I hope it is evident who he is. I needed rescuing so badly at the time he came and he was always there for me, no matter what. I am so very very glad for the shooting star that brought him to earth, connected him to me. Thank you, I'm really glad that you liked the poem.

[Legolas]

Yes, I can't help it either. It is evident to me-I can't speak for anyone else though. I'm so very glad he came and was able to help you. I really did like it.

[Isabelle Faye]

It is the human nature to want what we can not have, our entire society is goal-driven. I'm glad that it is evident to you. So am I. It means so much that you did.

[Legolas]

Exactly. You're welcome then.

[Isabelle Faye]

Thank you again.
