I sometimes resent my resilience.....
I wish that after being tossed around and spit out by this world I'd stay down I'd not bother getting up id stay where this strong world set me listen to its advice take its orders
I wish that after being assured by this world of how regular I am I wouldn't insist that I'm special
I wish that after this cold hard world told me I hadn't seen nothing yet I wouldn't insist that I had or that I knew what was coming next
I wish that when I looked in the mirror and heard all my flaws hiss I wouldn't insist on the fact that I'm beautifull
I wish that when I find something broken I wouldnt assure this world I can fix that .. I know whta I'm doing... Ill make this work
I wish that when my life and myself leave so much to be desired I wouldn't be so sure it's because the world has something else coming for Me
That it in fact it Is you strong world that hasn't fufilled my potential ...
I wish I knew how to wish come true.
interesting take
on the self, poems can stir many emotions, and I encourage you to continue writing and enhancing the subject matter of your poems. Inspiration comes from the mind and the heart. Within a pursuit of sentiment and an essence such as you display in your words, you will find even more solace as you move along your journey.
I leave you with this verse from A Nocturnal Reverie
a poem by Anne Finch
In such a night let me abroad remain,
Till morning breaks, and all's confused again;
Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed,
Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.
Peace
Dylan
