What I Want?

It's not a voice...But it does consume my thoughts

What I Want?

I want something but don't know what it is

I am longing for something but still don't know what

Is it acceptance?

Is it to be recognized?

No it can’t be.

Because I shy away from people

So why can't I focus in the present?

My mind is creating stories longing for a false world

It could just be a coping mechanisms

Mind dissociation

But still it wants something

Whatever the it is, it is not satisfied

But if I feed it I would not be able to live my life

It is consuming

It is sin it self

But I can’t quiet it

It won't stop longing

It want something to happen

But that something doesn't seem right

It seems dark and I know we both want light

Smiles and sunshine

But that can only happen if I focus on the present

So please quiet down now the longing and wanting that consume my thoughts
