I wish I could
I wish I could recognize a behavior and change it
I wish I could change overnight
I wish I could rip this nobody from my skin and be someone new
I wish I could tear away the words and the tears and the scars and the beatings and be the person you wish I was
I wish I could
I wish I had no ears
If I had no ears, I would be unable to hear the words that caused me to be the way I am
If I was unable to hear words I'm sure I could change
I wish I had no heart
If I had no heart than nothing that anyone ever said could never hurt me
I wish I had no brain
I wish I had no air
I wish there wasn't that sparkle in your eye when you say you love me
I almost wish we would have never met
Almost
Because I know I can never change for you
And I wish I could.

Invisible Papercuts
PoetryA small book of poems. Some can be very triggering. I write mostly free verse. If you don't like it, don't read it. All of these are fueled from conversations I've had or things I've felt. In Honor of my Uncle.
