it itches and
burns like a rash,
and aggravates me
far too much for me
to make it sound
more poetic
than one

it covers me,
an ugly, annoying,
large as life rash

my mother claims
that wanting something
is not an emotion
but an action

i disagree, because
this washes over me
in waves of distress,
a tangible feeling
that cannot be
described as
anything but

wanting something
with every fiber of my being
