I Wish

I wish life were different. 

I wish love was easily attainable, and that I didn't have to jump through hoops to find my match. 

I wish I could pursue my passion instead of working a job I dread, just to afford the cost of living. 

I wish I knew what my purpose in life was. 

I wish I didn't have to pretend...

I wish there were more. 

More smiles, more cures, more thriving, less surviving...

More love, more life. 

I wish time never ran out.

I wish happiness wasn't just a fleeting emotional state. 

I wish I didn't have to work so hard to be at peace. 

I wish I was in control...of everything. 

I wish life were different.
