3 yardsticks

I wish I was nice                       
But I am not
I wish I was bad                    
But I cannot be  
I wish I was neutral                         
But I don't want to be!                                           


I wish I made the right choice 
But I can't   
I wish I made the wrong choice
But I would not 
I wish I make no choice at all 
But I am not allowed!

I wish I was brave   
But I am not
I wish I was lily-livered
But I don't want to be
I wish I slipped to being nonentity
But that is not me!
