Sometimes


Sometimes I wish I could swim; like the fish and move with the waves and the wind.
Sometimes I wish I could fly; to be one with the clouds and the sky.
Sometimes I wish my pain would end; I alleviate it with my paper and my pen.
Sometimes I feel like an object to persecute; I feel like being pushed out of a plane with no parachute.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on cloud 9, 8, and 7.
Sometimes I feel like Lucifer when he fell from Heaven.
Sometimes I wish I had a woman to take my heart, but then she takes it and tears it apart.
Sometimes my tears will fall like rain; I beg for death but without the pain. 
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a father, but I can't even love myself so how can I love a son or daughter. 
Sometimes I feel good, I dare say even sublime, but just sometimes; only sometimes.
