waiting patiently.........
for something to come, something to look at
something to want, to desire
everyone wants to feel a feeling
that's what makes us human
people yearn for everything
whether its food or a simple companion
uh, yes sounds familiar
people in fact want to yearn for all
stealing any chance they have to obtain it
there is not a moment in life without yearning
trying to feel satisfied with ourselves
we only wish to be relieved of this constant pain
yet some how we are either addicted or have no choice
do we not all wish for something, anything
we cannot stop yet we base our very foundation on it
we cannot live without it yet we die by it
and we can control it yet we are in complete confusion
what yearn do you have and are you controlling it
or is it controlling you?

This is a well thought out piece, and I love the question posed at the end. It is a very important thing to not let ourselves be controlled by these desires. Thanks for entering the contest, good luck.

"everyone wants to feel a feeling

A simple statement, yet with so much truth behind this. This is very insightful, in its way, and I like the format you put it in. Very nicely written.
