I wish there was a poem for life Not so many written in the late hours of the night One that could express love and anguish All in the same sentence One that could describe grief and the feeling of a knife All in the same line
A poem that you could memorize And tell it to yourself On all the lonely nights A poem that could make you laugh and cry In one sonnet You would thank whoever wrote it And cry when they said they didn't Then your tears would fill yet another ocean
Some people have told me my dreams are something I will never reach And I have told them to wait until they can really see Some of them do They wait for me to succeed but others just sit there Plan Commiserate And curse me when I got there just fine I laugh when I wish for something Than obtain it the minute
I wished for a poem of life It turns out I've already wrote it
