Wish
Do you ever just sit in the corner of the room
And stare straight ahead?
Like you’re depressed and you want to cry
But you can’t and you don’t know why?
Like you’re caught on a line between giving up
And seeing how much more you can take?
Like you smile, even under this sorrow
Causing you to break?
Like you’re all alone
Even with your friends right there?
Like you feel all this empathy but you can’t seem to care?
Like every day you just wish to be repaired?
Like you’re tired all the time
Even after sleeping in?
Like every day you scream
Wishing you didn’t have to pretend?
Like you know your time will come
But you don’t know where or when?
Like every day you find yourself
Praying for the end?
Do you ever get tired
Of living in this broken world?
This broken life?
Like you put on a happy mask
Even when you want to cry?
Like you act like nothing happened
After all the tears have dried?
Like you try your hardest to live
But you don’t want to survive?
Do you ever wish
That you were perfect?
Do you ever wish
That things were different?
Do you ever even wish?

This was originally going to be a song, but I thought it would be better as a poem. You can read it as a song though, I think it could work either way (:
