A Short Personal Poem

[The Brutal Immortal]

I am a wisher, a writer of tales
I wonder why time seems to pass us by
I hear the secrets whispered on the wind
I see the truth hidden behind the smiles
I want to take away the pain of others.
I am a wisher, a writer of tales

I pretend the pain I feel isn’t there
I feel others problems lying in my head
I touch the souls of the broken hearted
I worry about the loss of a friend.
I cry when I discover your lies
I am a wisher, a writer of tales

I understand why people keep pains hidden
I say we need to end our suffering
I dream about reaching out to help
I try to be nothing I am not
I hope one day to discover the truth
I am a wisher, a writer of tales

I really like that line, I think it's something that most of us on here feel. Nice job with this one. Sorry I'm not offering much criticism... just kind of going with the flow today... but I liked that.
