How I Wish

How I wish I could be strong

But I am not

How I wish I could carry on

But I cannot

How I wish I could brave the tide

But I am weak

How I wish I could be triumphant

But I feel defeat

How I wish I could lead the way

But I am lost

How I wish I could win the day

But I will not

How I wish I could stop and stay

But I must go

How I wish these tears would fade

But I can’t stop

How I wish my life were good

How I wish I understood

How I wish I could love

How I wish to God above

How I wish for so many things

But wishes does not happiness bring

Yet wish I must, in wishes trust

For wishes are all that’s left inside

In wishes I can safely hide

___You Are Strong,i.e. It's Only That You Are Weak In Your Brain___

Evil Be Gone, Pain Be Gone,Weakness Be Gone__
Think Positive Thing's In Your Mind(Sub-Conscious) & Your Pain Will Be Gone!!

You Cannot Hope, Wish & Nor Pray Only Follow
The Path That (God) Has Placed You On Or Surely You Will Perish...
