a poem, or something of the sort.

TO WANT

we're all at a standstill, satisfied with the mediocrity of our lives
the lives that happened to us, not by chance, rather by this town.

a town that holds vacant minds and suffocated hearts
hearts that break for this town, whether gone or still around.
it's crippling.

i want to feel
i want to love
i want to be scared
i want to want so much, it's crippling

i want to leave
i can't stay here anymore
i want to dream, to create
yet most of all, i want the want to diminish
to live, really live, not to want to live.

at the end of the day, all we've really done is gone through the motions of a life being lived for us.
it's crippling
