I Wish You Were Different

A Poem For Them

I wish you were different I wish you were everything

I wish you were more open I wish you were more kind

I wish you were more fun I wish you were less serious

I wish you were more giving I wish you were more into me

I wish you were more independent I wish you were closer

I wish you were more communicative I wish you were more transparent

I wish you were a leader But you’re a follower

I wish you were more straightforward But you only go in circles

I wish you all were different But you’re yourselves

From the outside looking in you seem indifferent She says you’re in your feelings But you hide them because of your ego I wish you would tell me And let me know

I wish you were different But you’re not You’re you

And I’m different
