I Wish I Was Dead

I am fed up with life, 
The tears I've shed, 
Wish I could kill myself with knife, 
I wish I was dead. 

Sorry mom and dad, 
I failed to make you proud, 
I wish I could scream a little loud, 
The tears I've shed, 
I wish I was dead. 

Sorry for not fulfilling your expectation, 
I'm just filled up with so much frustration, 
The tears I've shed, 
I wish I was dead. 

I know am good for nothing, 
But I loved the way of your loving, 
"You're my perfect child you said", 
But I'm sorry, I wish I was dead. 

You did everything to make me smile, 
But I just failed to make you proud in my every trial. 
Days passed, I was dread 
I wish I was dead. 

Now I find myself useless, 
Sorry for making your life a great mess, 
It must be wrong the decision I've made, 
But still I just wish I was dead.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet 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.

Grammatically, it should be "I wish I were dead". It's the subjunctive mode.

Grammatically, it is correct. If you think it's not, I can't help it. Thank you anyway....
