UNDERMINED WISHES

Poem

I wish I was the son you wanted,

Good enough to live the expectations.

I wish I was the brother you needed,

Fighting your battles and mine.

I wish I was the friend you deserved,

In dark times and bright ones.

I wish I was the lover to set your soul ablaze,

Shower and pamper you with love.

I wish I was the person you looked up to,

To put you on the path of righteousness.

But I’m sorry,

I’m torn in-between myself

Worn-out right from the heart

Failed, even to myself…

I’m sorry,

But I’m sad and depressed

Lonely and broken,

So I can’t be who you need me be,

Nor who I want me be.
