Wishes

I wish...

I was perfectly independent

My time spent...

With a pencil in hand,

Smooth paper beneath my palms

I wish...

I could easily find my place in life

Cease these times of strife

And simply be happy

I wish...

I was beautiful

Inside and out

And could believe without a doubt

When someone tells me so

I wish...

I was clever

About every endeavor

Knowing the correct move,

The correct word

I wish...

My wishes were more than just dreams

Seemingly coming apart at the seams

My heart is constantly screaming out

"Why me?"

I wish...

I could smile more

My heart something people don't ignore

My soul remaining in one piece

Its dark days finally ceasing

I wish...

I could find that ray of light

To bring me out of the dark

And find that one little spark

That tells me hope exists

I wish...

This little wish list didn't exist

But now it is made

It exists

Because my dark side refuses to fade

A wonderful and vivid description of those silent, contemplative moments, where we all wish for the something that is missing from our lives. Love how you turn this all the way round by ending it with the wish, that there was no need to wish, love it.

Wow! This is so a sweet and profound. One can see how these wishes come deep from your heart. Vividly expressed. Excellent use of words and well composed. I was looking for the one stanza I like best but tbh I like all of these because each of them has its own beauty. Overall, an amazing poem. Keep writing!

You speak words that are so personal and deep, and yet make wishes so many readers can feel, can relate to. May you find your wishes coming to life for you more each day as you let these moving words flow through you. Every wonderful things made was once just a wish, just a dream, dear poet.
