Week 5: Warming Up

Poem #1

"I WISH"

I wish I was at a tattoo parlor right now,

getting my first ink. Maybe tomorrow.

I wish I could sit down and apply myself,

even when I strongly dislike what I'm trying to focus on. (Ahem, British Lit)

I wish the World wasn't such a daunting place,

maybe I'll see more of it and change my mind someday.

I wish that my childish naiive spirit was still present in my soul,

sometimes I think that would make life altogether less complicated.

I wish I could look my brother in the eyes one more time,

and tell him how I miss him.

I wish a lot of things,

but as I age, 

I really just wish for those I love to be happy.

Utterly, sublimely, blindly happy.
