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 nothing matters 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, the first and foremost quest I wish these wishes to take wing I wish these, impossible things |

I love what you wrote And I go as far as saying I wish I would not be in existence And for that matter I wish the world Would not exist so there would be no pain And Passions is a haven to share those thorned roses monique [This message has been edited by monique (edited 03-29-2000).] |
