i wish

i wish i could lie

lie like those guys

those guys who can plaster a smile on their face

with no fear that the heat of their soul

could melt it away



i wish i could die

or at least try to die

so i can see how much i'd learn

to appreciate life or

so i can learn how much

people really care



i wish i could fly

i would fly away to a new place

with a new name and a new face

i would fly with my arms ready for

a warm embrace from someone new

that cares



i wish i could try

i would try to find my way

through these piled emotions of mine

i would try to find the lies

in this greedy world's greedy eyes

i would try to make my world go right

i would try to to get you, for once, in my life

I wish I could rhyme. I have trouble with that, and you seem not to. I like the in-line rhyme a bit more, though. You should use it more often. Good job, champ.
