That I Need No Longer Hurt Poem by Andrew Matthews

I wish I had no ears
To hear the hurtful words
People sometimes throw at me.
I wish I had no eyes
To see angry mocking sneers
People sometimes give to me.
I wish I had courage enough
To tell them where to go
To go away in stronger words.

I'd love to have wings
To fly away to somewhere unknown
For peace I yearn sometimes to be alone.
I'd love to have love
Love honest and true
Happiness I'd love to no longer be blue.
There must be someone some place I don't know
Who'd be happy to know me to love me and show
That life is worth living, that I need no longer hurt.
