I wish the time were different
I’m way to young to die
To let my words be taken
From context to your lies
I wish my life were different
So same-like, in the now
I wish my love were constant
Not hopping like the Dow
I feel my life is ended
Before it has begun
This year has grown so weary
Oh god
What have I done?
I wish I did not wish
I wish I were content
For every effort that I make
Like water on the bank
I’m lost, I’m silent, I am not heard
Misunderstood, forever
When all I want is peace
I’m given war forever
Edmund Wilson
