If I could have just one wish

If I could have just one wish, the ugliest of emotions, would viciously cage my heart. Contempt would rule, and the castle of my being would crumble. All the longing I’ve worked to allow, would be ripped away leaving my soul as nothing more than a shell, housing one single, solitary, empty wish. One wish, allows miniscule amounts of hope to survive. One wish only, crushes the infinite blessing of dreaming- the place where redemption never ceases and beauty is always available. One wish steals the desire that drives me to seek and find, try and learn, work and succeed. One wish is robbery. For the act of wishing, is in itself, often more life-giving, than the wish coming true.
