I Wish

 

I wish I was an artist

So that everyone could see

The beauty and the heartache

That dwell inside of me

 

I wish I was a singer

So that everyone could hear

My tragedies and triumphs

My anxieties and fear

 

I wish I was an athlete

Long and lean, built strong and tall

Admired by the masses

Just because I could play ball

 

But me, I’m just a wordsmith

With tales to tale, insights to share

Hoping you’re still there reading

These strips of soul that I’ve laid bare
