THE WISH

a poem about depression and suicide

THE WISH

I wish for a friend who would stay

I wish the sun would shine each day

               

I wish I knew what made me so blue

I wish there was something I could do

 

I wish that like a child I could play

I wish all the voices would go away

 

I wish I could hide from the hullabaloo

I wish my smile was not always untrue

 

I wish the pain would fly far faraway

I wish my lonely life could end today

 

Sometimes our wishes do come true

With one step my mortal coil I now undo
