Array ( [sid] => 177227 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Want [time] => 2013-11-24 16:37:22 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I bottle up my thoughts and forget them on shelves,
and I'm all but surprised when I dust them off to find they've gone stale.
I wish to do away with the need of want, because that's all I ever do.
Want.
What does it say about me when I'd rather be asleep than awake?
That the writer of my dreams and its ability to take me far away is preferable to reality?
That I'd rather be
-No-
Want to be
anybody else
but
me
and anywhere else
but
here.
Do the fires of you heart melt the reservations of your mind
the same way the inferno of my own sears the flesh of mine?
The only thing stopping me from being the person I deserve is an ingrate drunk on love and high on lust.
How can I live with myself when I see the world in her eyes,
but the stars
in
yours?
I write and I write and the words ring,
but
don't
echo.
Why is all I can ask.
What is all I want to know.
Want is all I do.
Do is what I can't.
I can't do what it takes to be the person I deserve.
I disappoint myself everyday.
Can I force the writer of my dreams to shape my reality?
But the fates prove to be better poets, giving you your name.

I can so relate in some ways but
these lines just reach out and grab me

I can't do what it takes to be the person I deserve.

U sound like my T.
I don't know who, how, when or what.
you have spoken to me deeply in these words

Do the fires of you heart melt the reservations of your mind
the same way the inferno of my own sears the flesh of mine?
The only thing stopping me from being the person I deserve is an ingrate drunk on love and high on lust.
How can I live with myself when I see the world in her eyes,
but the stars
in
yours?

You can do it! I believe in you! :) Disappointment is something we all have in certain areas of our lives, but remember... all the greatest people in the history of the world have failed more often than the average person. If you want something, you just have to practice it until you don't fail. :)

I LOVE YOUR POEM :) very relatable
