wishes

I wish I could know true happiness
But I never have
And I don't suppose
I ever will
I wish I could know safety
But life is a risk
And I don't suppose
That will change
I wish I could wake up and be found
But I am so lost
I don't suppose
I will ever make it home
I wish I could fall in love
But I've been burned too many times
And I don't suppose
I will ever heal
I wish I could cry
But when I call the tears
I find I am empty
I wish I could stop being scared
I wish I could take the barriers down
It might make me happy
But I don't suppose
I will ever let that happen
I'm too fond of the misery
I guess
