Notes About The Poem

Better

I wish 
I was 
someone
better,
honest,
courageous.
who'd never
lie,
cheat,
hurt you.
and always
listen,
be there,
protect you.
instead of
failing
you,
losing
you,
letting 
you go.
I wish 
I was 
someone
else.

If a person has a wish, that can be turned into a goal, then they would need to set up a plan to achieve that goal. Sometimes it takes some outside help like a counselor or maybe a life planner, but we can always improve. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
