The Desire



Humans occasionally claim to love themselves
We say it to mask our sadness of not being wanted.  

The Sensation of being desired
The Desire to be loved


A tiny white lie
Fear of Fire
Afraid to give in
Pretend to be great

Life akin to a candle whom burn itself to provide light to others while you remain in the dark

Broken & Torn apart
Wandering about around trying to disguise your loneliness.
&
Forgetting to remember that life is too short.

Open Heart & Open Eyes

Be wary, scared of loneliness
opening your heart
to the wolf in sheep’s clothing


Only a person who risk is free

Is there Joy beyond your name?
