A Need to be Wanted

A spike of Blue Hair anxiety

Wanted, and unwanted

Tricked, and tricking

Am I desperate?

And do I need someone to hold me, and tell me it's ok?

Ah, but I am a big strong male. No one will do that for you.

First of all, it's an insult

Second, it's disgusting, and beneath people

Third, they don't have energy for themselves, why would they have any for me.

And so I float

in limbo

Anxious and waiting.

And so very, very needy.

I think you should smoke some grass and listen to some Cheap Trick.

Your poem reads nice. I've been smoking grass and it made me think of Cheap Trick's most outstanding contribution to mankind "I Want You To Want Me". It's been a good experience all around I think.

No matter how big and strong we grow, part of us always wants to be cared for. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Learn how to reach out. There will be someone who can fill your need.
