I wish for death to take me
Even though I'm dying everyday
Slow enough to be torturously painful
Quick enough to feel like I've died thousands of times each day

I wish for all my problems to go away
But it seems impossible to do or to grant
For every day that passes, problems come
Piling up like bricks, a home full of difficulty

I wish for drama to leave me be
It follows every step I take, every path I go
Unending in its intricate misery filled with complications
Designed to break all those fragile beings

I wish for peace and quiet and rest
I am weary of conflict and deceit and lies
Although I thrive in chaos, I grow tired and want peace
I need to rest my soul that's ever in odds with its self

I wish for love and honesty
For so long I have craved for these and acquired but never really grasped them
I have the hearts of many but none that truly has me
Searching for someone I can be me honestly

I wish for faithfulness, not loyalty
For being so loyal yet brimming with infidelities
Staying in the end but lusting over others as well
I want to be able to stay with as clean a conscience as can be

I wish for many things in life
Good things and bad
Landing on and around the boundary line
Never really comprehending my desires

I wish for death the most
Pain had been a too constant companion
Sadness and misery are sisters to me
And so I wish to be finally at peace for I grow weary for the world and life, both.
