I Wish

I wish I could help you
I wish I could comfort you
But sadly, we're apart
And I don't know how to help like this

You're a great friend
And I hate seeing you upset
I hope we get to know each other more
So we can become best friends

I can't stand when someone I care about
Is upset over something
Especially because of someone else

You don't deserve to deal with that
You don't deserve to feel like that

I wish I could help
I wish I could be there
But I'm away,
And so are you

If I were there,
I'd help as much as possible
It gets me to see you
In pain

I wish I could cheer you up
I wish I could be there
I wish I could help
I wish

I wish I could lift you up
So you're not down
I wish I could teach you how to swim
So you don't drown

Many I know
Are already drowning
And I don't want another to fall beneath the surface
I wish I could help you swim
Not sink

I wish I were there
To help you
To comfort you
To teach you to swim

I wish I were with you
So I could help
So I could comfort you
So I could teach you to swim before you drown

I promise
That I'll try my best
To be there
To help you
To comfort you
And to teach you to swim,
Not drown

I wish I could help

I wish I could be there

I wish I could comfort you

I wish I could tell you it'll be okay

I wish I could teach you to swim

I wish I could teach you to swim

It's sink or swim
Not both
Sink is trauma
It's worse
It's neverending
It's painful
Sink is permanent

Swim
It's good
It's life
It's not as painful
Swim is a continuation of importance

Choose swim
Swim is less painful
You'll get some scrapes and bruises
But you'll heal
Sink is permanent
If you choose sink,
You won't heal

Choose swim
It's better
It's good

Choose swim
For me
If not for me,
For yourself

Choose swim

I wish I could help you choose swim

I wish I could be there

I wish I were help you

I wish I were there

Hey guys. I wrote this one night when I was texting my friend, and she was upset, and I felt bad cause there wasn't anything I could do to help. But, yeah. I'm not really feeling all that great right now, so I don't know when the next time I'll update my Kellic is. I'll try to update soon, I'm just a little sad right now, so it won't be today and probably not tomorrow.

Stay strong, be you, and love yourself.💫
