I wish there were a few good words

To make this all go away

Just a string of perfect metaphor

That says exactly what I want to say

I wish there was a sonnet within me

That I could show to you

To portray these thoughts exactly

In the way I'm constantly failing to do

I wish with a few choice phrases

I could make you see it the way I do

To fill you with the sudden understanding

As soon as my words were through

If only I could paint this picture

That I see inside my head

With a circle of perfect poetry

And you'd comprehend what was being said

I stare at a blank page for hours

Try to touch on everything that I feel

Spilling out poems that just aren't good enough

To help you see what's real

I wish I could leave you a verse that says everything

And walk out, chin up and standing tall

More so, I wish I could just give up on you

And not have to say it at all
