I wish I could be a better me
irrespective of those inevitable challenges that surrounds me.
I wish I could be a grateful soul
to my God, Who gave me this precious soul.

I wish to live a  life that is trouble-free,
and of all bondages, I will be set free.
I wish I could just live alone
but my conscience won't leave me alone.

I wish I was brought into this life by no one,
and be independent without no one.
I wish I could just be rich in seconds
but why is poverty claiming to be my second?

I wish I could live an eternal life
but death is a must in life.
I wish to become a doctor
that saves lives not a vector.

I wish I could just see my mentor,
My Uncle in disguise, but there are factors
Though short term that are hindrances
to our meeting, I can't be affected by greviances.

I wish I could become a writer with impact
that heals those visions affected by cataract.
I wish to live in luxury
but where I live seems to be like a factory.

I wish I could be good to everyone
I tried my best, but why am I bad to someone.
That just wants my downfall.
Impossible it is! Momma said I can't fall.

I wish I could go for pilgrimage,
an important thing I have to do before old age.
I wish I could be in the Garden of Eden
singing praises of my Lord, but when?

I wish I could just be loved
by someone whose sight makes my problems solved.
I wish I could be a better me
but why has the weather not favoured me?
