To Want

by Thomas   Jul 28, 2012


To want less
is my most recent crime
It's been progressing
and slowly developing over time

To want peace
in my messed up head
seems to become a crime
punishable by death

To want sadness,
just to feel alive
So that happiness can become
the thing towards I strive

To want to be me
Not some made up stereotype
To not want to live up
to all the hype

To want to die
inside and outside
Because of bubbling emotions
coming with flood and tide

    Life can be very overwhelming.
    We all are striving for more and better
    trying to fit in and being accepted.
    Never lose your own identity and try
    to find happiness. Isn't that what we all want just to be happy and have our life back
    Thanks for sharing
