I wish I was red 

Bold and loud 

And angry 

But instead I am blue 

Timid and silent 

And so, so 

sad 

I wish I was burning 

I would scream and yell until my lungs gave out 

People would have to notice and hear me burning 

But instead I am drowning 

It's hard to scream with your lungs so full water 

People won't even notice when I die

When I drown

I wish I was fire 

People would be trained to be cautious around  me

One mistake and everything you've ever known just might go up in flames

But instead I am water 

People know I am docile and meek

I get used without a second thought

I’m just very usable 

I wish I was a forest fire 

Everyone would watch me as I burned bright 

They would watch me like I was a dying star 

But instead I am the ocean 

I am never ending void of ever increasing pressure 

They can try but they will never get to the bottom of me

Not unless they want to be crushed too 

I wish I was red 

I wish I was angry 

I wish I could let myself be angry

But instead I am blue 

I am just so sad

My soul is overflowing with sad 

I'm so sad
