I wish I could…..

I wish I could have a “home” and not a shelter,

This could protect me and not make me falter.

I wish I could have a “soulmate” and not a teacher,

Who could love me and not be an instructor.

I wish I could create my own story,

And not regale in other’s glory.

I wish I could have a “family”,

Where I could create melody.

I wish I could make a career,

And not let it be a barrier.

I wish I could offer prayers in my own little way,

And not let anyone make me sway.

I wish I could make people listen,

And by my words make people feel smitten.

I wish I could have “joy”,

Without having to make any ploy.
