Wishes for Hope

Wishes for Hope

A Poem by Ally
"

Just a few things I thought of and came to a minor realization about that I thought I'd share...

"

So I'm sitting here thinking about life, love, and what happiness really is...

I wish life was simple, and that we knew exactly why we are here, and what we have to live for.

I wish I knew what would happen with someone if I shared intimate things with them, before these feelings were shared and hearts were broken.

I wish I knew why people had to suffer without the “religious response” to that…

I wish I knew why society is so corrupted, or more why people have become so far from morality that they have made it so corrupted.

I wish that people wouldn’t judge others, and would just accept them for who they are, not worrying about insignificant details that they may or may not like.

I wish that I knew what to believe and what to value.

I wish that when someone falls in love, the other person loves them back, or at least if they don’t, that the pain of losing them didn’t make you feel suicidal.

I wish that love was easy, and that we knew exactly what it was, instead of describing it as the endless whirlwind of both extreme happiness and extreme suffering.

I wish that people would have more mutual feelings and there would be less argument, and disruption caused by conflict.

I wish that people weren’t so cruel, and that all were honest, and true, and pure in their intentions.

 

But…

 

If all my wishes came true… What would life be?

 

Do we always know what will make us happy? Probably not… and that’s the reason we don’t know! It’s because we shouldn’t know! And we must not know! Think about it… if we knew… would life even seem to be worth living? And if it would, what would we live for?

 

Yes, life is hard, and it is full of suffering, and pain, but there are happy times where we wish that those times would last forever. Everyone has a different view on how things “should” be… but when you think about what you would change… you realize that nothing can be changed… and you need to learn to accept it because if you don’t you will never, ever, find true happiness.

When I was a teenager I hated my life. When I turned into a young adult, I still hated my life. When I was with child, I still hated my life. When I had my little boy Preston, he changed my life and I loved being alive. I think that when you have someone to share your life with, whether it be someone who understands you or not, and you know will always be there, then your life seems to have so much more meaning and you don't hate your life anymore, or as much as you use to. As you get older you appreciate living, because it's ending so fast and you want to accomplish and finish anything and everything you'd like before you die. Life is life and we have to live it like we never knew it was going to end. If we didn't know we could die, I think that life would be easier. But, it's not that way and we have to live with the fact of knowing. It hurts but at all the same time, it's amazing and we try to live to the fullest. I really liked this writing. I like to interact with people who think. Thanks!

"life's a b***h because if it were a s**t it would be too easy"
we all have to suffer, people are corrupted because they make themselves blind
life is just like that.
we will never know the answer to everything, some things are meant to be a mystery
