I wish I was like others
I wish I wasn't in pain
I wish I could see the world through their eyes
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't hate so much
I wish I was young again
I wish the world was still my oyster
I wish for better times

I wish ..............

How
How can I stay positive?
In the face of constant deceit.

How can I stay upbeat?
In the face of constant dishonesty.

How can I stay optimistic ?
In the face of constant transgressions.

How can I stay ?

I have to leave, you've made me cynical again.

I have to leave, you've made me pessimistic again.

I have to leave, you've made me misanthropic again.

I have to leave ......

Before I lose hope again

She
She is as beautiful as the summer rain is to a pluviophile.
She is as funny as your favourite meme.
She is as smart as a quote from your favourite theologian.
She is as complex as a Merge Sort algorithm.
She is as passionate as your favourite (love) song.
She's as gentle as the ripples on a midsummer stream.
She resonates with you like a Charles Bukowski poem you once read on the internet.
Whatever happens just be grateful you both met.
