I wish I didn’t think the way I do And could dispel the voices, shrill and shrew Inside my head rising such a clatter Sometimes I care, though it doesn’t matter A voice of reason in the wilderness A symphony in the stillness Something needed to bring about order But that is getting harder and harder I wish I was not made the way that I am To make all things want into can How different life would certainly be If God had put other stuff into me To not view things with a slightly shifted slant If upon losing causes, I did not myself plant And impulses, not act upon every single one But what would then be done for fun? I wish I could change misfortune in the past And maybe choose different winding paths Put all wrongs into endless right To not give in to promise of youthful night And never knowingly forestall Anything worthwhile, anything at all Hindsight is always simply second best To foresight, everyone’s eternal quest I wish these, wishes to take wing I wish these, impossible things |

A good write. I think that all people have such thoughts. Afterall that is what makes us human. |
