Yearning

8 1 2
                                    

-This one is a more raw freestyle poem because I wrote it quickly without editing in order to keep in the emotions I felt in it-

I just want to feel happy
I just want to not feel sick

From worrying what comes tomorrow
From wondering if I'll find purpose then

Not needing to find the unfindable
Not meeting the unreasonable

I want to breathe with no weight on my lungs
I want to think I should've died young

I wish I could breathe without feeling guilty
I wish I was free enough to see the beauty constantly around me

And not have my vision chained to hopelessness
And not have my brain wired to restlessness

Let me be seven again
At least let me remember the feeling then.
