I don't want to eat.

I don't want to sleep.

I don't want to dream.

I don't want to wake up.

I don't want to shower.

I don't want to hope.

I don't want to believe.

I don't want to want.

I don't want to be.

I don't want to breathe.

I don't want to see.

I don't want to fight.

I don't want to cry.

I don't want to lie.

I don't want to pretend.

I don't want to remember.

I don't want to forget.
