Collection of Me

I Wish

I close my eyes every night

dreaming of tomorrow

I wake up in sweaty fright

wallowing in my sorrow

my eyes are red and puffy

my face swollen and cracked

my nose thick and stuffy

my body trying to contract

your voice races down the stairs

into my underground cage

where all the shapes are squares

and I wish I were on a stage

so I could climb off and dissapear

never to be seen again

but only in the dreams of my tears

can I begin to pretend

so locked and chained down here i stay

the door slammed tight

wishing for a summer day

I hope with all my might
