Teen Writing #7: The Life I Wish I Had Had

This is the life that I wish I had had; I wish I grew up knowing my real Dad. I wish that when I was one, I shouldn't have had to say, "Goodbye, Dave", For a sad little road in life, that event paved. I wish I hadn't had to have brain surgery at three; I could have been a healthy person everyone wants to be. I wish I weren't neglected by my parents and my doctor; It was like someone put a slow bullet in a gun and cocked 'er. For, I slowly and surely deteriorated; Because the people to whom I am related very truly and faithfully hated; The idea of going to doctors of Western Medicine; Their minds, into space, surely jettisoned. I wish I had grown up healthy; Into a family which was always wealthy; Of a lot of common sense; But I wasn't; my parents were very dense. But, I had to move on with my years of pain; Which added to making me insane. However, now I can be happy with my own life; Because, although I still have strife; I am happy to be Jacob's common-law wife. I hope that one day, he can legally be my mate; Because, without that, it's like we're on one long date!
