Jenna Abbott Poet Free verse

Ghost

Wish you were a ghost, a long forgotten ghost who’s name was long forsaken
Wish you were anyone but You. Miserable, depressed, sad You.

Uncaring, unlikable, untalented You. 
In the shadows of dusk with no will to go
No will to leave this misunderstood place of nothing and no one

But over time the walls of this moldy room start to crack and break
Leaving only hope and energy of the day- tomorrow- when you will be loved and happy

Wish you were a ghost, a long remembered ghost whose name was long admired
Wish you were no one but You. Wonderful,  happy, beautiful You.
