I Wish

I wish that I could see the bright side
Of all the dark and gloomy days
So I could chase away the storm clouds
And no longer be afraid

I wish that I could scale the mountains
That they said I'd never climb
So I could prove them wrong for once
And think that maybe I'm alright

I wish that I could reach the heavens
And capture starlight in a jar
So I could light the world around me
And have a chance to flee the dark

I wish that I could stand up tall
And conquer all my fear and doubt
For once believing that I'm worth it
Instead of pushing myself out

I wish that I could love myself
As much as some have said I ought
Instead of hiding in the shadows
I'd become what I am not

Great write. Emotional and longing to be what you know inside you should, looking for the strength to make the step. Great job.

As usual, a wondeful piece with great rhythm and imagery. I especially liked these two lines:

"I wish I could reach the heavens
And capture starlight in a jar"

Love that imagery. Amazing :)

I like this one alot. Just remember wishish are for those who don't see a way to do these things. You know the way. Just ask Jehovah.

That was a beautiful poem, the last line blew me away. I love it, and I hope you get out of the darkness.

This journey of self discovery was inspirational. The strength to conquer all is hidden in the lines of this poem, but it radiates out into the readers skin.
This was very real and honest.
