I Wish
I WISH....
I WISH MY TEARS COULD GIVE RIVERS A JOY OF RUNING WATER
FOR I FEAR TO CALL ON , CRAWL DOWN TO THE SAME CRY....
BECAUSE THESE WISHES NEEDS TO FALL, NOT ONLY TO WALK
AWAY PEER PRESSURE BUT TO BRING ME CLOSER TO PEACE.
THE WAR THAT MY EYES SEEKS IS USUALLY FOUGHT WITH
MONSTERS WHO DONT EASILY FALL, BUT THEY ARE BOUGHT
UNDER THIS THOUGHT 'MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND'
I CONFIRM MY STATE OF MIND AND I STAND MY GROUND BECAUSE
I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK AT THE EYES OF MEN WITH PITY,
BECAUSE THE SOUND 'SUCCESS' IS NEAR SO DO NOT FEAR
AS NO ONE KNOWS OR HAS THE SCALE TO MEASURE SUCCESS....
I WISH I COULD WISH FOR THIS WISH TO COME TRUE.....
