What Do You Want?

Is there something in the world you really want? Maybe something you can't have, or are working towards getting. Is it something material, like a new car? Or is it someone special to you?

I want to know what you want. How does it feel knowing you'll never get it, or how will you feel once you finally succeed? What would you do, or give, to get what you want? What could the consequences be?

Here are the rules:
1. Pre-written poems are allowed.
2. No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs.
3. Spelling is very important, and could play a role in the judging. At the very least, please use spell check.

Other than that, anything's allowed. Have fun and good luck!
