Wishes

Dark Things 2007 (KY)

Wishes are just words you say.
They are just thoughts in you think.
Often they are gone the next day.
Then all your hope will sink.

Wishes often do not come true.
They are often things you cannot do.
There are wishes around every bend.
But all things have an end.

Dark Things

I am sixteen.I have always loved writing my own songs and poems.Finally I showed my mom and brother.They told me that I should publish my work.So I decided to post it here.I know that there are some who would not like it.But that is not what matters.I write for myself,AND only hope I might be a blessing to some one. more…
