I Wish, I Dream

"I wish I could stop crying,

I wish I didn't have to try,

On the outside I'm smiling,

But inside I'm dying,

I wish I didn't yell,

I wish I didn't pretend,

I wish I didn't feel crazy,

I wish I didn't always feel stuck,

I wish I didn't feel different,

I wish I could start over,

I wish I didn't feel so worthless,

I wish I didn't feel empty inside,

I wish I could just let go,

I wish I didn't need help,

I dream of a life, though I know I'll never have it.

I wish, I dream."
