Wishful Thinking
If only,
If only,
If only,
Such words
Such words are repeated daily
As ordinary people grow unhappy
With the world,
With others,
And with themselves,
“If only they would just understand,
If only I had acted more intelligently,
If only this had never happened,
If only I were given the chance,
If only they had allowed me,
If only I ever had the courage,
If only the world were not such a cruel place,
If only they loved me back,
If only I loved myself.”
