Wish I Was A Better Man - Daniel Breslin's Poetry

I wish I was a better man
Sometimes I really do
Things keep slipping through my fingers man
And I don’t know what to do.

I get overcome with insecurities
Often when things are looking good
Trying to take more responsibility for my shortcomings
And show more humility in love.

I make so many mistakes
While I’m trying to do good
Trying to turn some thoughts to actions
And most of my actions are borne of love.

But I wish I was a better man
Sometimes I really do
Wish I didn’t succumb to pressure man
Always knew just what to do.

Sometimes I don’t know what is right no more
So many things have been going wrong
Sometimes I don’t want to fight no more
But it is the fight that made me strong.

I’ve overcome so many adversities
I’ve raised myself, in time
But so many of my loves are hurting me
Do I keep testing the love I might find?

I wish I was a better man
Sometimes I really do
Things keep slipping from my fingers man
And I don’t know what to do.
