i didn’t know i wanted this
but i do now
intellect vs romance i will try to snuff it out
this dreamlife dances alongside reality
flitting in and out like a little bird
i can’t quite grab to stuff back in its cage
i observescoff and shake my fist, roll my eyes
but that desire echo of wishing persists
i remind myself:
if i had ever gotten what i wanted
i would be selling myself short.
