I want to feel, I want to know I want to love, I want to grow
I want to sing, I want to win I want to cry, I want to sin
I want to dance, I want to walk But ever turn is a roadblock
I want to turn out of this maze But it all is such a haze
How did I get here? Where do I go?
I want to yell, I want to scream Please tell me this is but a dream
I want to feel, I want to know. I want to love, I want to grow.
I want to feel your lips while we hold hands, In the season’s first fall of snow. I want to know how to keep this bright, Unfading, always shiny and new— But right now, my desire Is myself next to you, With a glass of Merlot.
I want our love to grow, I’m sorry for what I didn’t know— We should have started this long ago.
Yet if there’s one truth I hold dear, It’s how I love to watch the sky glitter and glow. To feel the wanderlust rise and overflow.
I thought you should know, I dream of creating, like Plath, Poe, or Van Gogh. And for now I must go.
Understand please, There’s far too much unexplored land. But know that I love you, And I’ll sew my heart on your sleeve, A part of me, yours to borrow, The most intimate gift I can bestow.
This is proof, of my vow, I’ll be back before you know— One beautiful tomorrow.
One day, This I’ll promise to keep: To love you forever, My soulmate, My beau.
i always thought i would grow tall but this did not come true at all in fact i'm smaller than before the search for love became a bore
i want to feel, i want to know i want to love, i want to grow i want to see, i want to care but now i only see you stare
i want to hide beneath your skin i want to feel it, let me in i have a detailed fantasy of a shared kiss beneath the tree
i want to ache, i want to cry. i don’t want to live, i want to die. i don’t want to feel, i don’t want to know. i don’t want to love, i don’t want to grow. i hate myself, i’m not okay. why do i always make mistakes?
i don’t want to ache, i don’t want to cry. i want to live, i don’t want to die. i want to feel, i want to know. i want to live, i want to grow. i love myself, i’ll be okay. everybody makes mistakes.
I want to feel, I want to know I want to love, I want to grow I want to live, I want to fly I want to laugh, I want to cry
I want to run, I want to be I want to search, I want to see I want to shout, I want to hear I want to give, I want to cheer
I want to want the things that others do To live my life to the fullest too To be normal and plain all like the rest Giving my all, always trying my best
_ I want to hear them once again, i want to feel you’re beats so near. i want a hidden hint from you, so on my doubts i blow and throw. i want to love, drive you’re heart into the unknown of mine. i want to grow grow to take care of your soul. but you… you want to feel my heart so close, so when you fail, you’ll have me near. you want a hidden hint from me, so u continue with ur dreams. u want to love, drive a heart that’s not mine into the unknown of their heart. you want to grow, feel old enough to let someone who loves you go. someone who takes care of you’re soul. someone you know you can count on. someone who you saw renewed you’re heart. why do you think so much? please, just follow your heart. you can’t seem to hear the loud whispers of my heart. how come you’re still blind? you say i’m not mature and smile u try to take care of me in every way. you notice when im sad, angry, or scared. you say i’m silly. you look at me and say, “ur funny.” you say i’m too young to do many things. but i know what i want. It’s your love. are you mature? ur so patient and i’m not But i’ve been keeping a deep secret in my bones. while you give up and throw me stones. **** _
