I wish I didn't know where God was sending me.
I wish I didn't have to hear other people beg for knowledge of where God was sending them.
I wish I didn't know how desperately I want to succeed.
I wish I didn't know exactly how little my friends matter to me compared to that.
I wish I didn't know how much worse it's going to get.
I wish I didn't have to watch other people be happy.
I wish I didn't know who God is telling me to date.
I wish I thought she cared about me.
I wish I saw her more than once every other month.
I wish I didn't know how brutally I'll push myself.
I wish I didn't know how brutally I'll push everyone else.
I wish I'll get to build my rifle one day.
I wish I felt respected for what I am.
I wish I knew how to talk honestly with people without pissing them off.
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off.
I wish I knew how to function in society.
I wish I could be nice to people.
I wish I could stay clean.
I wish I wasn't alone in every possible way.
I wish other people could see the world the way I do.
I wish no one ever had to see the world the way I do.
I wish I actually thought I'd succeed.
I wish I was who I need to be.
I wish I didn't have a list of dead people.
I wish I didn't need the list.
I wish I could just go Home.
I wish I'll get a viking funeral.
I wish that didn't seem odd for a devout Christian.
I wish I had more faith in what I believed.
I wish I didn't laugh at other people.
I wish I cared more about people in need.
I wish I wasn't just following orders.
I wish it meant something more than a job.
I wish it didn't hurt.
I wish churches didn't preach a pain-free life.
I wish churches never taught that Jesus was the way out of pain.
I wish I wasn't so scared.
I wish I was as fearless as my actions say I am.
I wish I wasn't so important.
I wish I was confident.
