Wishing For Something...

Whatever given… hasn’t the return
However much to go… no matter how was away
And it became a natural flair to burn
Living once more to remember that one more day

Is there not another road to take?
Can I not have a time to not have a mind for?
Must all things be made worth to simply wait?
Can’t there be a time… a moment pure to adore?

With this to simply have that
That be which to ease any troubled mind
How much more can so little be lacked?
Isn’t a one life to own already without time?

And with everything obtained… I have nothing
With everyone telling me I have something more
Can it be my death defying culture is giving them dreams?
Or rather… am I being pitied to have encouragement pour?

Wanting to be and never can be…
Wishing for something with nothing more to wish
For that one fine day to one day see
Of that one fine day to never again have today to miss
