Obsession

Is a term.

It describes the hunger,

The thirst for something

So perfect.

Something so fitting for the mind.

It makes things shatter.

Always getting farther away,

With each step forward.


Desire

Is word

That pulls and tugs

On the heartstrings.

It pulls an idea of reality

Out of the depths of wants

And disfigures it into a lie.

It sucks the moisture from

The cheeks of those who have cried wanting other.


Truth

Is a pain

That only distorts comforts.

With it's serrated edge,

It cuts the skin deep.

Like glass it is transparent

And is built around life.

It tears apart wanted things

And chosen callings.


Dreams

Are adventures

That build new days and nights.

They give a push

And give a hope to all who think outside

Normal.

Strangest morals

Get shifted to the opposite side.

Gifts don't always carry far enough.


Destiny

Is fragile

And a burden to some.

A specific path is given

And wanted by those who listen and obey.

It can be twisted into the same obligation

For who is not listening.

So simple is the deception,

That makes it believable.


Duty

Makes tears come.

It is unwanted

But serves the same purpose

As wanting change for things.

Getting caught up in what the world

Needs only crushes confidence.

Carrying out small sacrifices

For selfish breaths.


Drive

Is given

By motivation

For all kinds of wants, needs, and wishes.

It works magic for the devoted

While being the cause for

Putting food on the table.

It is needed

To push the world in its phase.


"Wishing for Longing," is wishing for a break from having a compulsion to want something. Thought longing drives so many forward, it can be a punishment for those who just can't get enough of anything. For the ones who need simplicity. However, longing is also wishing for the greatest dreams to come true. Making what the heart wants, a reality. A mix of break, pressure, and coming true is what should be seen more often to help bring more positivity in the world.
