I only wish I could

Contributed by Shattered_soul on Monday, 14th August 2006 @ 02:04:40 PM in AEST
Topic: DreamsandWishes

I wish that I could
Step into your shoes
A little girl with cancer
A man that had the blues

I wish that I could
See life through your eyes
A drug addicted mother
A child paralyzed

I wish that I could
Feel the way you feel
A racist comment towards you
A life that’s so surreal

I wish that I could
Live life the way you do
A homeless on the street
Going hungry for a week

I wish that I could live life the way you do
Stepping deep into your shoes
And seeing life how you see it
I wish that I understood
How you would feel
When your misunderstood

I wish that I could
Let you see life
From my point of view
All the people that hate me
Because of what I am
Not what I could be
I wish that you would fit in my shoes
Just so you can see
The discrimination
I see everyday
In my life

I wish that I was
Able to see life
From a birds eye view.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
