Wishes


My wishes It takes one who is strong to survive on Earth It takes one who is brave to withstand the stress of this unfair world Bad people seem to be more comfortable Than we that choose the path of truth and goodness Good people tends to suffer more from betrayals and back stabbers Hurtful words goes non stop on them But they still choose to do what is right Loving one wholeheartedly only to get hurtful words and deceit What have I done to deserve all these For I came innocently to the world, And my path of greatness was prophesied Only to grow in this world full of hatred and greed You hope for too much! Face reality is what rings in my ears Waking up everyday with wishes that someday will be better But it's getting too long cos I'm scared I cannot longer hold on This is too much for me to bear Survival in this world is truly a war What else can I say Than to spill out these bitter words from my mouth My eyes pouring out ceaseless tears as I wish for things that seem impossible Luxurious life I wish Wealth with no ending I pray Joy with no end I see But I still imagine if I can still get all these Cos this life is a battle to face
