I Wish
My eyes have seen too much sorrow and pain
I Wish
I wish I could erase,
From my eyes, the things I’ve seen—
Shadows clawing, silent screams,
Haunted faces, broken dreams.
I wish I could close my eyes and be free,
To not see what I did see.
In my score years, I witnessed hell,
I wish I could erase and never dwell.
The images burn, refuse to fade,
In the depths of my mind, they’ve stayed.
Though I close my eyes to hide,
They linger still, deep inside.
The sights remain, a heavy chain,
Echoes of loss, shadows of pain.
If only my mind could let them go,
To find some peace, to heal and grow.
But here I stand, the scars still near,
A silent burden, a quiet fear.
I wish for freedom, a soul set free,
To unsee the things that shattered me.

Good job. I think at times we wish we could all do this from time to time.
