And I want, Dear God, I want

I have been wanting my whole life

Chest heavy and lungs tight and hands outstretched, straining

I have never known it, God, is it everything?

I am not ambitious, I am not determined, but I want I want I want

I move forward because I must

Love and pain and laughter and hatred

I want to know, I need to know

There is nothing within me but want

How do I learn to live with it

I am whole, I am whole, I ache for it

I ache
