I Wish Poem by C.R. Ebowski

My eyes roll as I read other poems
Their recounts of life is fake
Never once knowing the pain
A harsh life and the will that it can take

Don’t bother trying to play me
Because I have seen everything
Nothing will ever surprise me
The lies will fade along with spring

Like others before me I have failed
But tonight I will rectify my actions
I will reclaim my life with vengeance
Ignoring my unlawful reactions

I will forever hide from who I am
And the law will pursue me without consequence
But nothing could ever be as harsh as me
Knowing that I could never have an honest promise
