(ANTIPATING) CHILD WISH

Folder: 
Teenage Chronicals

as i sit here anticipating my thoughts

i think about the days that were lost

written messages with no clue on how to find them

mailed into a box hoping someone will find them

I stand and look off the edge of the bridge

if i jump will i fly or die

i don't know but it's all a big mistake

so untake this life that i destrtoyed and let me live as a new grown boy

one more chance to show you who i am

one more chance to prove i am a man

in the world i can follow to the east and the west

I can follow to the open deises

laying on the ground to wilt away

i like the lines:

"so untake this life that i destrtoyed and let me live as a new grown boy
one more chance to show you who i am
one more chance to prove i am a man"

and

"I can follow to the open deises
laying on the ground to wilt away"

those are definitely ok, but i was thinking that maybe the last line could go like this:

"laying on the ground
to wilt away"

i think like that would give it maybe a finality, though nothing's ever completed..but it is your choice....

is otherwise a good read
