Wanting, Needing

A poem about needs and wants

Wanting to be free

Needing to start over

Wanting you to forgot what I haven’t done

Needing to prove the weaknesses are no longer

Wanting you to take me in your arms

Needing you to console my mind

Wanting to understand what I did

Needing to realize I did nothing wrong

Wanting to know what step to take

Needing to enjoy what I have

Wanting to break down and cry

Needing to move on

Wanting to stay strong

Needing to hold my head high

Wanting to let go

Needing to be free 

Author's Note

Sorry If I come off self centered but there is a lot going on. I need a outlet.

Needs and wants are a part of our life….
Its very nice..
To read your poem that reveals the openness of your mind….
You are aware of your intimate needs…and wants…
They are the catalysts that help us to grow….
Keep us alive….

[Joshua Donahue]

very good piece! and not self centered at all. in fact, writing self centered is good because other people can most likely relate even more! :) good job

Throw it...that was really good and not self centered at all. Alot of mixed up emotion in that one, it is good that you have writing and your WC family here to listen....Loved it and hope everything is Ok.

I can feel the raw emotion that you have in this poem, because I've been in this situation before. It's real, it's true, and I hope you find your freedom that you need.

Thanks for letting us see an emotional side of you. It was a great poem.

This felt like an unexpected explosion of emotion that comes from one who has put their own needs on the backburner for way too long. It is necessary to take time to figure out what one needs. This was real.
