Wanting



Wanting

Feel my.pain
I don't know what's its name
I feel lost inside
Hear me, hear my cry
Yes, lying here in so much pain
I ask you can you refrain
I can't maintain, society is trite
Like me people are uptight
Rage has become a new slave
Demeaning everyone's true name
How can we internalize this blame
Shame benefits our brain
I just want a chance in my life to finally be in the right domain
Life can be a chain
I believe this emotional unrest has made me feel unattainable.  Really I just jest.  
My mind and body have truly been put through a test
...Wanting even more love in the world not less
