I Don't Want To Wish (Anymore)


I don't want to wish anymore I just want to be Because my mind is attracted to what I can't do & my heart feels the magnificence of conflict I wish & postpone - My desires - because I'm still contemplating on my next move What do I fight for? What do I love? I may not change I may just become more deeply than I already am Maybe deep inside these four walls Deep inside these twisted hallways I wish to be more gentle with myself I wish to be.
