Wishing Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

I look back with an eye in the mirror
Driving carefully on this Highway called Life.
Decisions that I made,
both good and bad.
All led to my preset fate.
Common sense and pride.
I possess in abundance.
Yest it's my faith in others.
is sadly lacking.
Lovers I could have had,
I let go without uttering my feelings.
Stuck in a shell so thick,
since i was so young.
No-one hearing my desire for sound.
Wishing I was famous
Wishing I was rich.
Lacking confidence and looks unlike my brother.
Who I secretly idolise.
Wishing I was so much better.
But here I am in this hard shoulder.
Wishing for the same shattered dreams.
Alone but older.

Weary travellers take note,
and quickly learn
Be confident in yourself,
never be sad or be lost.
For it could lead you to be so diverted.
Not confident but introverted.
I cannot tell anyone what I wish for.
Wearily I travel to the highway's end.
Forever lonely,
forever wishing.
