And I Wish
and I wish i could write the words that make you feel something.
and I wish I could string together sentences with hidden meaning.
A lovely flow of words i can’t tap into.
and I wish the words I can write will drain the well of depression in my brain.
and I wish it would just go away.
A desperate attempt at living.
and I wish my thoughts would mean something.
and I wish you wouldn’t fake it.
A lie i hope to stop telling.
and I wish i could tell you all the ways i hope it will be okay.
and I wish i knew for sure if it really would be okay.
A song with no words because i can’t seem to write them.
and I wish this poem would somehow speak truths that cut you to the core.
and I wish you would love yourself.
A sad life washed away like the rest.
and I wish i could stop the tears from sprinting down my face.
and I wish i would sleep on an empty head.
A wish never seems to come true.
Does it.
