I wish it wasn't raining today.

I wish I hadn't found a large, dead moth underneath my papers before I left work last night. I wish its legs weren't ripped off and scattered over my work.

I wish I hadn't seen the large spider crawling down my shower curtain as I showered last night.

I wish I wasn't such a sissy.

I wish I wasn't on my period. I wish there as no such thing as cramps.

I wish the service department at the VW dealership hadn't been closed last night.

I wish I had set the alarm clock correctly. I wish I hadn't woken up at 8:07 a.m. when I should have been out the door 10 minutes earlier.

I wish it hadn't been raining this morning. I wish there hadn't been an accident on every highway in the city.

I wish I wouldn't torture myself with songs that remind me of memories and feelings I'm not ready to deal with. I wish they didn't make my heart fit to burst.

I wish someone would have chosen to love the man who shot that girl in Colorado and then took his own life. I wish he didn't feel that death was his only way out.

I wish my canker sores weren't eating away my lip. I wish I could smile, eat, and laugh like usual.

I wish my boss would be nicer to me. I wish my other boss was back from vacation.

I wish I didn't have to wait by the phone to hear what the damage is on my car.

I wish I didn't have to call the seller to tell him he sold me a lemon.

I wish I wasn't so afraid.

and while I'm wishing...

I wish I could let myself cry.
