I'd give anything <br />not to have this blood at my feet <br />not to have this much regret <br />and memories of grim defeat <br />I'd give anything <br />not to have this pain and strife <br />not to have to struggle <br />every moment of my life <br />I'd give anything <br />not to look into the mirror <br />and see someone that I don't like <br />an image of hatred becoming so clear <br />I'd give anything <br />not to hear the echoes of <br />my words trying to create <br />illusions to cover lack of love <br />I'd give anything <br />not to have to learn to breathe <br />to know how to do it on my own <br />to tell myself not to believe <br />I'd give anything <br />not to have this point of view <br />not to see the distant dreams <br />and all the things I'll never do.<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-give-anything-3/
