Wishful Thinking

by No Need For A Name   May 3, 2008


I wish I was a secret
I wish I had a name
Wish that I could keep it
For the rest of my days
I wish I had a family
To come home to at night
Wish they'd say so frankly
That I've gone so blind

But this wishful thinking gets us nowhere
And this wishful thinking causes no care
You could wish and think and think and wish
The day away
But it causes no care

I wish I had a home
Built just for me
With nobody around
I can finally breath
I wish I had a drink
Get drunk by myself
Cry yourself to sleep
It sobers you up

But this wishful thinking gets us nowhere
And this wishful thinking causes no care
You could wish and think and think and wish
The day away
But it causes no care

Why do we
Try and wish
For miracles
It's so selfish
Why can't we
Just for once
Give ourselves
For someone else
Why can't we
Why do we
Why is it
Wishful thinking

    Very lacking in punctuation and full of cliche's. Plus, you can't really write, say, or sing "causes no care". Also, it's missing a lot. Instead of having a statement and saying it bluntly, try to hone it down, get a fine edge to it. And also, develop your ideas more. Go somewhere with yourwork, don't just let words sit there and die.

    This was another great poem and the flow with the rhyming is good. the emotion came out even better. The poem had pretty good imagery and this is really a excellent poem. The only mistake is when you spelled "breathe". you spelled it breath. unless thats how you wanted it than never mind. At any rate good job.
