Something...

I have this enormous WANT…
That’s the only way I can describe it
I want…
It’s there all the time, like a cyst
Threatening to overwhelm me
I put it aside when I sleep
I ignore it while I eat
But it always comes crashing back
I don’t know what I want
Something
Whatever it is, I haven’t got it
Or the want would go away
Wouldn’t’ it
Would I still be carrying this burden
If I had ever found what it is
What it is that I want, I mean
Would it be there, looking over my shoulder
If it were satisfied
I’m not sure
Maybe we all have one, I just can’t see yours
Is that true
Do you ever just …want
something



I think it might be ice cream

I know that there is something I want and will never get. Maybe I should join the club and go for ice cream?!?

Ice cream is nice, though Sherry does have a point

Happy eating

In a lot of ways, "want" is a great motivator isn't it? Nicely created, Sue. Love and peace. Regis

Yea every time I try to decide what I am going to eat for lunch.....often end up skipping it because I cannot make up my mind. Great write.

Yes, I understand that feeling and the hungering does go away at times and then I realize what I missed.

You ask some really great questions, Sue. And to answer you, I think we all want Something - all the time - but quite often we don't know exactly what it is.

Ice cream, huh?
