I Wish

I wish I was dead,
I wish I was gone from this place.
I wish my life was over,
I wish I could disappear with no trace.

I wish things could change,
I wish this life wasn't like this.
I wish I didn't wake up the next day,
I wish my time in this world was dismiss.

I wish I didn't cry,
I wish I could keep it all inside.
I wish I didn't feel any pain,
I wish that today I could just die.

I wish you weren't you,
I wish you could act like my dad.
I wish I looked up to you,
I wish you would treat me like your son.
