I Wish It Was

I Wish it Was

By: Phylicia Ebanks

 

I wish I could only cry on the inside.

I wish that physicality was not always literal.

I wish I could live a life disguising all the emotions I feel.

I wish I wore a perfect smile when all my world was literally crumbling.

 

Who said it was easy?

Who said I was always going to be strong?

Who said I would never break down?

 

It's the legacy of Adam that I have inherited .

It's the legacy I want to return.

Adam's sin is what I have inherited. 

I do not like it.

 

But somehow I now realize that only 'One' has the power to mend my heart and to convert my legacy into one I will appreciate.

I will wait eagerly on this sole 'One'.

 

Who said it was easy?

I wish it was…

It is not.

Life is a gift but I wish life was easy. 

I wish it was.

I wish it was.
