The Other Blog

I wish I was an aeroplane
that soars across the sky
I wish that I was a thought
as pretty as a butterfly
I wish I was imperfect
my imperfections make me real
I wish I was a poem
that everyone could feel

I wish that I was jealous Hate
that falls with grace to Love
I wish I wasn’t a single option
but all of the above
I wish I was as beautiful
as the stars in the sky at night
I wish I was undeniable truth
of believe in love at first sight

I wish I was the reason
that made you want to live
I wish I found it easy to take
but easier to give
I wish I stood on my own two feet
and dared to not belong
I wish I was the sun-rise
I wish I was this song.

============

Inspired by the song Wishlist by Pearl Jam. The good thing is that I didn’t know the lyrics to the song when I wrote the poem, and it helped me make my own wishlist which you can almost sing to the original tune.
