I Wish

I wish I could just explain
I wish I remembered everything
I wish time stopped 
I wish I had a plan
I wish everybody could get along
I wish I weren’t limited
I wish fear didn’t bother me
I wish half the things mattered
I wish it didn’t get worse
I wish I knew how to tell you

The poem has a sense of frustration, I love that effect, this is great and nicely penned

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Nice to meet you, Savannah, and to read your poem. If poetry, i.e., what we write, could make wishes come true… We poets have wished for that many times. There’s power in the written word though!
