I wish I wasn’t so quiet.
I wish I could speak loud.
I wish people would just listen
To what I’m talking about.

I wish I wasn’t shy.
I wish I could believe.
I wish I wasn’t self conscious.
I wish I was in love with me.

I can totally relate to this poem because I am not the most out-going person, and I think this is a great poem for people with those problems because then they can think twice about themselves. Great writing!
