If I had one wish And I was guaranteed it would come true I would wish that I didn't have the ability To express myself through poetry Writing is a curse not a gift I wish I was ignorant To the feelings in my heart I wish I couldn't put them into words that make sense I wish I was just like every other guy out there Unable to express emotions through verse and rhyme Writing has made me soft Its much easier to bruise this soul than it was before And its much easier to shatter my shattered heart And I wish I didn't feel the things I feel I wish I could just drink a few beers Have a few laughs and go to a couple strip bars Pass out drunk on the floor and forget everything that I am feeling inside Just like every other guy Instead of lying on my bed and then going to my computer And writing down what I feel in this complicated mess we call Jon (I even hate what I'm doing right now) But no... I have the ability to express my emotions with words Write them down in free verse, imaginative reality, lyrics and limericks, stanzas and sonnets etc etc. I hate the fact that I know the difference between all of them! So, if I had one wish... And I was guaranteed it would come true I would wish that; I wasn't able to write a single line of poetry So, then maybe... I wouldn't hurt so much inside When you say that you don't love me the way I love you |
