I wish I could fly Soar high above the eath Without a care in the world I wish I could dream Full-colored from my heart To make me smile in my sleep Sometimes I stand alone Eyes closed out in the rain Sad without a breath Just waiting for a hand I wish I could be happy My face could crack a smile I wish I had a shoulder Some place to dry my tears Where I could lean Where I could stay And be wanted I wish I had arms To wrap around me To hold me by her heart I wish I could believe Believe in myself Believe in anything A little hope for guiding light A signal beacon for my lost soul I wish I had some hope A little glimpse of optimism Something bright to carry on my day I wish I could hear silence To drown out my own voice crying Something firm and real to grasp on Bring me back to daily life Sometimes I wish for nothing Just an empty slate for me To start anew and wash things clean With courage this time through I wish I could know love Sent back at me for once Something, anything to go right And fill my missing piece Just push me from a mountain top And cast me off to die Just don't tear out from inside me That ball of light so dim Those sweet blue eyes That carefree smile I wish for just one kiss For I still lie in tortured bed With hated look on face Without dreams, without love My world is made of rubble... I wish I could fly... Fly away from here
Reason for writing:
Most of my poems are written out of frustration. My one true insecurity is in relationships. Because I am afraid to
instigate them, I spend time sadly dreaming of a chance to succeed. I just wish that I could overcome it.
