I Wish

I wish I had written the songs I grew up with
I wish all those stories were about me
I wish that I had wings that would sprout if I stepped out my window
I wish I was the wind, climbing, soaring without boundaries
I wish I could feel for a second what it is not to exist
I wish I could feel what you feel for a day
I wish I was here, and nowhere and everywhere
I wish there was place where my heart could just stay
I wish there was color I had never seen before
I wish not just to “Be” but to be alive in every way
I wish I could fight becoming one with the crowd
I wish there was a dog star to find my way
I wish I could remember feeling what I had felt before
I wish I could keep this numbness at bay
