Sometimes

Sometimes I wish 
    I were what
    I was when I
   Wished I were
   what I am now
   If that even makes sense
   Can a person regret
   wishing 
    and having 
     that wish actually
      Rearrange them
     according to 
      the specifications
     Can a person really
        feel guilty
       and miss the 
            old self
          that they once
           used to be? 
          Well here's what
            I say
        Sometimes when I'm sad
          I wish I could go back
          Cause what did wishing
           I could change do? 
              But make me new
               tears 
             and news kinds of
                pain 
               Sometimes I wish 
                 I were what 
                  I was when I 
                  wished I were 
                  What I am now
              If that makes any sense
                 To me it explains everything
                    My whole essence  
                          Really
