My wants
I want to talk less and listen more
I want to write less and read more
I want to love and be loved back
I want to cry and laugh shortly after
I want to bury your memory
I want to walk less and run more
I want to give more and take less
I want to have a conversation with my mother about love
I want to tell her about my pain
I want to teach my brother how to love a girl with all his heart
I want to teach my father about depression
I want to go sky diving
I want my voice back
I want to sleep through the whole night
I want to stop smoking
I want to love myself again
I want what you took from me
I want me
I want to teach my kids the meaning of NO
I want to teach my son how to cook
I want to teach him how precious a women's body is
How precious his body is
I want to teach him how valuable a women's voice is
How valuable his is
I want to teach my daughter how to fight
I want to teach her how to stand speak and be heard
How to give only when she wants
How to take only what is hers
How to put her self first
How to love every flaw
Every imperfection
I want to forgive
I want to tell him
I want him to know
That I have ripped his hand out of my throat
