I wish to talk,
But can not speak.

I wish to look,
But can not see.

I wish to know,
But can not learn.

I wish to try,
But can not try.

I wish I wasn't different,
But I can not be the same.

I wish I was alone,
But I can not take solitude.

I wish I had a dream,
But I can not remember.

I wish that I could see,
All the good I have inside me.
But, sometimes, I can not.
