Poem: I Wish Not
❤️ Photo Credit: Mira Van der Veen

I wish not to look on the outside 

Where there’s so much chaos — turmoil: 

I wish not to be alone and live, 

My life in seclusion, 

Where joy succumb to sorrows 

And hopes becomes a despair, 

No longer brings the heart a smile: 

I wish not to look on the outside 

Where misunderstanding cost many lives 

I wish to speak greatness in my own life 

And mend all those things, 

That prevent me from soaring high

I wish, I command greatness in my own life!
