A Wish

poem by: Ocean Carey
Written on Dec 31, 2013

I made a wish on a star
the worst mistake I've made so far
if only I knew...
That one little wish  
the words that slipped from my lips 
would change all as I knew it
for the wish came true...
People always hear
be careful what you wish for
all wishes have a catch...
Oh how true that is 
for I made a wish on a star
the worst mistake I've made so far
for it came true, and changed it all...
Everything I once loved
is now gone
everything I once had 
completely erased form my world...
not cause their gone,
but because of my wish on that star
the wish to be dead...
Now I'm alone, listening to everyones' cries 
because I'm gone...
I never thought I was loved
now I know I was, I learned the hard way
because my wish was granted.

Interesting viewpoint in this and I like the difference. I have written from the viewpoint of an object before... Take care. Janet

Ocean Carey commented:
Thanks though I like nightmares that I wrote because it really comes from my heart. I use to have a lot of them.

Great Writing!!!
Jared Alesi commented:
A poem which includes an epiphany at its end is one that I have always enjoyed; it makes you think deeper about things than you normally would.

Never wish for the impossible.......be thankful, and happy with what you have....
