Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

I wish I had wisdom
I wish I knew
the right words
I wish you could know
what is in my heart

I wish I had answers
to the dark places
A map through the maze
a compass to guide me

I wish I had a
a new me to bring
a better me to be
A soul not in tatters
A life not in ruin

I wish I had
a voice you could hear
a song you wanted to sing
a story you wanted to read

I wish I could
turn back the path
unwalk the steps
never taken the risk
never learned the truth
never shattered the dream

If the sky were
always blue
we would never know
the cleansing
of the rain

If the sun always
shone
we would never
know the moon
or the stars

If my heart had
never broken
you would not
have come
to mend it

Tags: if

if freedom were a wing that i could climb upon
a feathered fearless sanctuary that could
carry my soul forward
lean my eyes toward dawn
I would fly as one sparkle
across a slated sky
I would float as I was meant to
I would see
