wishes of useless child

[lucidnightmares]

i wish i were a special boy
i yearn to be intriguing
i want to find that certain joy
to make my believing
i wish to be another man
one who isn`t meek
i wish i had a clever plan
but then i`d never speak

i wish that i could speak my mind
to have the gift of the silver tongue
but then i think that then i`ll find
my words will never be sung
i long to have the musical gift
to play my hearts desires
but then i think that i may drift
amongst a pack of liars

i wish to be a better man
one who deserves a happy life
i wish to know where life began
but then mine may end in strife...

Maybe that's the way we grow up-wishing for things, and then seeing that in reality it would not be so wonderful as we imagined.

[Silven]

I like your writing style.

This is my favorite verse:

i long to have the musical gift
to play my hearts desires
but then i think that i may drift
amongst a pack of liars

Can I suggest, at a few points, the rhyming sounds forced - you should put more importance on creating the rhythm so the poem flows more fluidly.

For example: See how the addition of one word can affect the flow of the poem:
i wish i were a special boy
i yearn to be intriguing
i want to find that certain joy
to make my (life) believing

And again: where -means remove- and (means include)
i wish that i could speak my mind
to have the gift of -the- silver tongue
but then i think that then i`ll find
my words will never (just) be sung
