All I

Here's a poem I wrote when I was 13. The Hopeful dreams of a boy-man, slowly changing in the stark bleakness that is reality.

ALL I

All I want is to be happy,
That’s what everyone wishes for.

All I need is to be heard,
To have my opinions listened to and considered.

All I have is my strength,
It’s the only thing that can get me through life.

All I can do is be patient,
Waiting for things to get better.

All I hope for is one moment,
Something to brighten up my future.

All I wish for is a satisfying life,
Where I can be content and comfortable.

All I ask, is the chance to be me.
