I Wish I Knew... Poem by Estrella Brummels
I Wish I Knew...
I wish I knew how he felt,
I wish I knew a lot of things.
I wish I knew how I felt.
I wish I knew something other than sorrow,
So just maybe I can live through tomorrow.
Maybe I can open my eyes to a new day,
Maybe I can make it be that way.
But I know I cannot.
I know I won't.
I'm just a child.
A foolish girl.
I wish I knew love.
I wish I knew happiness.
I wish I knew some things,
For which I will never know...
Estrella, this is a sensitive expression of a girl approaching young womanhood who is feeling a bit lost. You wrote very nicely about your true feelings so that readers can sense your confusion and unhappiness. You should keep writing poems, you have the knack!
