I wish.....that one time

I wish
I wish I said no
I wish I said yes
I wish I was able to truly express

...That one time

I wish I prayed harder
I wish I played harder
I wish I tried
I wish I cried

....That one time

I wish I didn't give a flying duck at my age
I wish I was wise beyond my rage
....That one time


I wish I wasn’t stuck with my morality in the muck
I wish I wasn't so dumb to think that I can over come
.....That one time

Time..... crime....lime....dime....

I wish I didn’t try to force a rhyme every time I tried to write poetry

I wish I focused on how to express my mind’s imagery in a soliloquy.....there I go again trying to stitch my jumbled thoughts into rhymes thinking it’s poetry

I wish I had an open mind and a mic to just simply say...

If you focus on that one time then you will lose the remainder of your time. Life is a canvas painted with many colors in different brush strokes and if you only see that little smudge then you lose the whole picture.

Love yourself.

Forgive yourself.
