An Unachieved Life
I wish to live a life of great success and bright fame.
Being the center of attention would be how I get my way.
If I were to live a life so great I would feel the least shame.
Oh how I wish I had lived a life like this in my day.
I wish to be laced with pearls like Elizabeth Taylor
Maybe even diamonds to put a sparkle in my eye.
The last thing I will be known as is a failure.
Oh how I wish my words were not a lie.
I wish there was a time where I had more aspiration.
But it is obvious, that dream is far beyond my reach.
This simple life of mine doesn’t compare to my fascination.
Oh how I wish my life was more than a figure of speech.
I wish there had been more time where I had tried
Instead of wasting time on wishing for a better life.
How dare I be surprised to find my dreams have died.
Oh how I wish that I’m blessed with a great afterlife.
