Wishes Poem by Phil Soar

Do you ever wish the ground would swallow you whole?
Take away your lapse in tactfulness, and steal your soul
After you have made an error, and caused pain
Don't you wish that you could wash it down the drain?

Do you ever think that words are meaningless?
That it's better to live in silence, than confess?
That it's not worth all the worry or distress?
Do you ever feel your life is second best?

You should never disrespect the life you've made
The person that you are, and roles you've played
And always believe in the things you've done
So people will remember when you're gone
