Wish I Could Leave a Memory

[Charmer]

Wish I Could Leave a Memory

I had no hopes or dreams
Nothing to call my own
No solid foundation
no place to call home

What I was when I was here
was not the kind of man
I wanted to become
For every day
that's gone away
For every tomorrow
that'll never be
Why...
All I can ask
All I can scream out is...
Why Why Why

Holding back
is what I always did
Holding inside
is where my my unfulfilled plans hid

Wish I could leave a memory
one that could make you smile
Wish it didn't have to be
Wish it could make you see
that I was worthwhile...

great poem for anyone my age, trying to be what we want to be. then again, i'm not sure you ever grow out of that.

Charmer, that's so beautiful. I think we all have felt like that sometimes.

Really beautiful!
I guess we all grow up with dreams of grandeur, and then realize not everyone can be a hero or have the dreamed life. Make people around you you love happy, know what you want and need to be yourself happy and try your best for it, and you'll be able to leave thinking your existence has positively affected this world.
I wish I could write so nice things in english Charmer, you're really talented.
