I want

Advertisements

no I need to get this off my chest because I have not felt this way before and it’s so overpowering that I can’t sleep.

I eat just to survive but, the feeling of just wanting to sleep in and not go anywhere for a while would be nice.

But, I get up and I move around with the need to get to where I am needed and just move with the flow of the traffic.

I know the worrying is there but not from me for I know where  I need to be and do to survive this moment .

I want no I need to say this because, the way you looked at me the other day just proved my point.

If I don’t say anything you are going to keep thinking that this is appropriate but, it’s not and so I stand strong today.

Because, I don’t want tomorrow to be the same as yesterday and I’m hoping for so many more things to happen and come my way.

For I deserve more and this time I will put an end to this matter now.

  1. The power exuded in the last line “For I deserve more and this time I will put an end to this matter now.” is so encouraging. It’s one of those poems that makes you wanna get up, shed off all the chains that bind you and say “yes, I CAN” Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece of writing. Great work. 🙂 🙂 🙂
