[want]

you want.

what you can't have. what's wrong for you. what you'll never be. what you'll never be able to reach, let alone hold in your hands.

it to work out. it to be over soon. it to be better than it was. it to live up to the impossible standards you create in your mind. it to happen again.

to be happy. to be rich. to be comfortable in your own skin. to be one of the pretty ones. to be more popular. to be wanted by everyone, but able to find the right one. to be loved.

to be witty. to be funny. to be charming. to be smart. to be skinny. to be tall. to be candy everybody wants.

to stand out in a crowd. to disappear. to make the world laugh. to be left alone.

to see the world. to never leave the comfort of your bed.

a place to run to. a place to hide. a place to rest your head. a place where the grass is green. a place where it’s always warm. a place where you can fall back, look up, and see nothing but a night sky filled with stars.

the last call of the night. the first face you see in the morning.

more time. as many do-overs as you can come by. to never have to use a single one. to never regret anything. every choice you make to be right, and easily made.

to stop looking, and just be found.

it all.
