I wish.

I wish I could teach you how to understand.
I wish I could teach you how to be confident.
I wish I could teach you how to be nice.
I wish I could teach you how to be protective.
I wish I could teach you how to scream your problems away.
I wish I could teach you how to see the world like I see.
I wish I could teach you to feel the pain.
I wish I could teach you how to feel the rain.
I wish I could teach you how to be the best.
I wish I could teach you how to be yourself.

I wish and I wish, but sometimes wishes are just wishes.
And sometimes it won’t come true.
Even when I wish it would.
