"iwish" poems - Hello Poetry

I've seen more beer cans on the ground of the backstreets of my town than kids playing outside I hear the background music of apps like temple run more often than I hear book pages being flipped on a train While hearing the explanation to why my friend is in a fight with her boyfriend key words like "opened my snapchat" "read my text" "ignored my dm" are brought up more than you can ever imagine I stand up for millennials, I am a millennial but in light of the good we cannot ignore the bad we have made technological advances that once were unfathomable We have made scientific discoveries that were once unimaginable We are the future But we can not ignore how we might lead to our own downfall We are the future But do we want our kids to live in an even more intense version of this technological blur This addiction, this technological addiction will lead to our own demise The youth will never see another playground again because they can visit one in their screen for points Children today are addicted to phones before they can even project their own sentences Adults use it as an escape to quiet their kids for a little, "to distract them" "keep them occupied" A few years later they ask them why they never leave their room, why they are glued to their laptop You cannot punish the robot you created You cannot revoke the escape key you once gave them There is a problem in today's generation And we need it to change One day iWish to walk the streets of my town and see more children than empty bud lights

iDont Think iCould Continue On ILove Him So Much, But Seeing Him Face To Face Just Reminds Me Of How ive Done Him Wrong. The Feel Of Guilt And Shame How iWish iNever Tried Drugs. The Reason To Most of Our Conflicts. im Laying Down Emotions Just Tipping Around Thinking For A Solution IFeel i Should Just Set Him Free Because All I've Done Was Just Disappoint Him Hes Honestly Better Off Finding Another Girl Rather Than me Iv Done to much I Feel So Bad And Don't Think il Ever Forgive Myself For The Lies i Made Him Believe. I Don't Know How To Express How Much pain Im Actually Feeling . Knowing My Lover Now Sees Me Different And i know he has lost feelings. How i Regret Not Being honest from the very start.

Somedays I feel things to deeply Somedays I feel nothing at all Somedays I turn my emotions off And curl up into a ball I hate that I am like this I hate that I am sad My head goes round in circles I must be going mad I know that I'm the problem I know that I'm the worst I know there’s something wrong with me It feels just like a curse I wish that I had somebody Someone to understand I wish I weren't a burden Taking space up on the land I WISH I WAS DEAD IWISH I WASDEAD IWISHIWASDEAD But I am alive And I can breathe I can smell the flowers And see the colours of the autumn leaves Somedays life is hard And others it is not But at least Im still here Beneath the ground I shall not rot /gt

I wish you had found me When I was six. I wish you had entered my world then And stirred by consciousness Like you did When we first met, Two decades later. I think of all the children Like me; Young, spirited And vulnerable. Who didn't know They were poor. Who had no phones or TVs; Only radios In their homes. Who didn't know There were literary giants in the world Who looked like them. Who were fed a steady white diet Of history, literature and Religion... I would've had an albatross On my deck. I would've had big-dream winds Beneath by sails. I would've been The black mariner of lore Shielded through the raging storm... Not shipwrecked; Left like shark bait to navigate The turbulence of prepubescent life Rife with philistines and predators. My ship and treasure Would've landed sooner, Safely onto destiny's shores. And my poetry Wouldn't be So blue... AYO ~P #iwish (3/27/2023)
