I Wish

I wish ... I could walk away

I wish I had listened

I was wiser

I wish I was brave

I wish it mattered

I wish I hadn't conformed

I wish that the facade matched the reality

I wish I could rewind

I wish I could fast-forward

I wish I had less to lose

I wish I could face it

I wish I had no bottle opener

I wish I had the will

I wish I had read before I typed
I wish I had looked back

I wish I could remake decisions

I wish had become before I became

I wish I could speak

I wish I had a one-way ticket

I wish I had abandoned other's wishes

I wish I didn't have to play happy

I wish I had followed through

I wish that the shadows didn't block the sun

I wish I had painted instead of prayed

I wish I had chosen a different escape plan

I wish I had time

I wish someone would protect me

I wish I knew why

I wish it was worth it

I wish I had a verse; and a chorus

I wish I had somewhere to go

I wish ... I could.
