just desserts
I want a past that won't
put a boot to the back of
my neck
I want a future that taste
like candy
I want a slate wiped clean
before it was ever written
on
I want to drink with kings
that are fools and fools
that are kings
I want to find a place where
the sun is blind
I want to find torture where
the love never ceases
I want to make life up as
I go along
I want a story with a bad,
bad ending
I want the truth even though
it's going to hurt
I want to wake up
one more
morning
I want everything I
do not deserve
I want to sleep in a
bed not of my own
making
but wanting is one
thing and having
another
as the horses ass
laughs

Ah, but you do deserve everything my dear. All you have to do is recognise it when the signs are there.
Awesome write, btw. I feel it!

This is so powerful. An anthem, even.
It’s powerful because it dares to dream. It dares to cut through the human shit and says yeah… I want more than this. Even if we feel as if we don’t deserve it.
The language is completely accessible and that allows it to be so applicable to so many people’s thoughts and feelings.
I really adored this one. Thank you for sharing.

This was perfect in its desire to be someone new. Someone who hadn’t racked up the bill at the table. Felt this to my toes.

The way I see it, wanting and having don’t always have to be two totally different things, you just have to do a lil adjusting in the wanting department, at least I did.

Your correct. It all depends if one is willing to adjust ɓeacuse for some adjusting is settling.

That opening stanza feels are real as many of us have that past, sometimes haunting, sometimes like a ghost that still wants to choke you.
Great work.
Great work.
