I want
I want to be brilliant
I want to be prolific
I want to inspire
I want to be beautiful
I want to speak languages
I want be effortless
I want to drive until I run out of gas
I want to see the world from the gutters
I want to close my eyes and pick a spot to start over
I want to get so high I lose myself
I want to say yes to every drug offered
I want to wake up in a stranger's house
I want to be powerful
I want to be a temptress
I want to ruin everything for a whim
I want to blow out the speakers
I want the music to wash over me in buckets
I want to be a rockstar
I want to jump out of planes
I want to shoot guns
I want to be a force to be reckoned with
I want to run the show
I want to call the shots
I want to break the tie
I want to forget bad decisions
I want to remember the lessons
I want to have a reason to try again
I want to stop feeling guilty
I want to know when to say no
I want to know how to stand still
I want to play in puddles
I want to run marathons
I want to watch the sunrise
I want to be uninhibited
I want to paint pictures
I want to be a chameleon
I want to be where the grass is the greenest
I want to be satisfied where I am
I want what I do not have
I want to be what I am
I want to be what I am not
I want to know what I am capable of
I want to be
I want to feel
I want to do
everything

Thank you!
This is brilliant!
No, thank you!
Thanks so much for your comment! And for reading it in the first place. I just needed to get out there all the little desires that consume me. I am so very thankful that you appreciated it.
Warmest wishes,
April
No, no, thank you!
sincerest thoughts and honest desires afflict us all, nice to see a clean representation of this. Keep going!!
No, really...
The funny (or tragic) thing is, as I sit here I could type another piece just as long with even more wishes and wants and whims. It seems endless, and often contradictory when lined up like this. It is cathartic though.

repitition
Repitition can only work if you throw in variation every few lines. A little varation wouldnt hurt.

Hi,
I've been away from the site for a while. You may be right. It was more a matter of needing to get those things out, and not really written as a proper poem to read from anyone's perspective. Had I taken a different approach, it may have been formed in a more reader-friendly way. I do appreciate the comment. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)
