I wish I was a leaf blown by the wind

                By Lord Julus aka Iulian Ionescu

When I see myself ,
And see what I could  be,
When I see the long life’s horn
Spiking into me -
Sometimes I wish, 
I swear to you
That I was never borne.

Sometimes I wish a leaf
Blown by the wind to be,
And when I’d hit the ground
People tread on me
So this my heart
I wear strong and bold,
Would never have a sound.

This sad may sound to some,
And so it sounds to me.
You think that I should fight
And do not cease to be
Strong and bold
And wear my guts
From daylight to the night?

Maybe I will
But I do need
Someone alongside me
To put a hand
Upon my heart
And stop the unstopped bleed.

But until then,
Well, I still wish
I was a leaf blown by the wind
And wait for when 
the blow will come
And break me from within.
