I Wish and Hope

 I wish I was perfect,

But without flaws, a creation is lifeless,

As mistaken as I'd be,

I hope I'm a better person than yesterday.

I wish I was good-looking,

But they say looks can be decieving,

So what good does being beautiful do,

If only the ugliest souls come near you.

I wish I was intelligent,

Then I'd be awarded for my merit and intellect,

But intelligent people suffer the most,

For they have to bear the stupidity of the rest.

I wish I was in love,

But it comes at a cost of fearing to lose them,

This fear pushes me away from the closest of my people,

I hope somebody teaches me to love.

I wish I was a better friend,

For I've lost more people than I've met,

But my friends are what make me perfect,

I hope they think I'm a good friend.

I wish I was a better writer,

I could think of fancier words and better rhymes,

Although art is admired in it's simplest form

I hope somebody likes my art.
