One Wish
Of many things I could have
Of all that is out there
Looming possibilities
There’s one simple thing I need
Yet I am deprived of
Essential to life
Key to living
One single wish
No one understands
Why I want it
Crave it
Need it
There’s one thing I want
One single wish
In the darkness I lay
A candle lit
Burning down the time
I am allotted
My eyes follow
The pen
As it scrawls
Across the blank white page
My hand trembling
My heart pounding
Yearning for
One single wish
If only
This life would end
I could depart
Gain all I want
Understand myself
Reflect my heart
No longer bound
To the ground
Toiling endlessly
Over nothing
It’s all I need
One single wish
