Want

Want

A Poem by Kollin Lore

I want to write a poem

but i'm uninspired

I want to run around wild

but i'm too tired

i want to be a vampire

but i gotta be realistic

i want to give up on my life

but i must stay optimistic

I want to kill myself

but that's just stupid

I want to pick my nose

but i'm no longer a kid

i want to meet Kurt Cobain and 2pac

but that'd mean i'd have to die

I want to tell you how much i hate you

but that'd be a lie

I want You

but you don't love me

I want to lie 'neath the stars

but in the city it never appears above me

I want to leave this classroom

but that'd be rude

I want to eat

but i don't have any food

I want you to be cured

but that's impossible

I want a rhyme for the last line

but nothing rhymes with impossible

I want to be genuinely happy

but i don't have what a good life brings

I want to fly away

but i don't have wings

I want you to move on in your life

but you tell me you can't

I want to write a periodical

but i don't have a slant

I want to be healthy

but this chest cough won't stop

I want it the easy way

but challenge is needed to reach the top

i want to stop my medication

but i'd get a seizure if i did

i want to go to an auction

but i don't have the money to bid

I want a job at the zoo

but they aren't hiring

i wantto rob someone

but that's a bad sin

i want to keep writing this poem

but it's getting repetitive and tiring

i want to not want

but that's just not human.
