Things I would like to find:
1.) Happiness-
to feel tingles
inside of my bones that tickle
a smile onto my face
instead of this itch that leaves
me bleeding every time I
scratch off the pain.
2.) Love-
to wake up knowing
someone out there wants me
as I want them.
I hide behind my distraught
because I am afraid of feeling,
but there will always be
a nudge inside of my heart
that makes me long for somebody else's.
3.) Self-contentment-
to look into the mirror
and not trigger
a single demon
as if I am those demons
inside of my skull.
4.) Words-
to have a dictionary of sentences
within my brain.
To have the correct knowledge
of what to say.
To be able to touch a billion hearts
and flip the switch on a
million minds with just one poem.
5.) Map-
to find a map that
will lead me straight to these things,
so maybe as I am searching
ever so desperately
for these wonders,
I will also be finding treasures
I did not know I needed to find.
But this world is not a huge
lost and found bin.
It is a
long,
empty
pit of
despair and
longing and
you have to figure out a way
to dig things up with your own shovel, your own arms and legs,
build yourself a home and learn how to
tidy it up on your own.
