I wish I could

I WISH I COULD COMPOSE A SONG,

WHOSE LYRICS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

I WISH I COULD DANCE,

SO EVERYONE COULD FEEL MY BEAT.

I WISH I COULD SING,

SO AS TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL

I WISH I COULD JOKE,

TO AT LEAST MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY

I WISH I COULD WRITE,

TO MAKE PEOPLE ENJOY

I WISH I COULD INSPIRE,

TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE IN A LIFE

OH! I WISH I COULD,

BUT WOULDN’T,

BECAUSE I AM A DEAD SOUL LIVING INSIDE AN ALIVE BODY.

I wish I could do the same! I wish I didn't hoarder so much pain. I wish that everyday it would rain. I wish that one day I don't have to feel insane. I wish that I could meet you and we could write poems in chains. I truly do enjoy your writings my dear!

Well written with emotions that flow well together.

Thank you ^_^

'Appreciated' is maybe a bit of a heavy word for that line.
I like the wistful yearning to be this and that. And I like the bitterness of the last line. Phps once we accept our lot (this doesn't mean we are dead) then we can get on. So maybe the word 'dead' could be something like 'songless soul' ??

I love the poem. The need, the urge to WANT to make a change, a difference

Thank you ^_^

I guess this is how many of us feel. You have told it in a very strong and direct way. Your conclusion is sad but expresses the hopelessness felt honestly.
Well done for this.

Wonderful. Makes me think of a Hugh Laurie quote, "It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now."

Such a great poem but the sad ending completely threw me. - It was really, really positive and felt so alive and then BAM - the sad ending.

Really good piece - Kudos to you.

Mark.
