Asking Isnt Getting.

 
 
What do I want?
 
Well,
I want really,
to pick up that knife,
and run it across my wrists,
but for there not to be a mark the next day.
 
What else do I want?
 
I want you in my life,
but I feel I have to distance myself.
There is nothing more I want then to be close to you,
But I want to push you away.
 
Confused?
Well,
You want to know what else I want?
 

I want to know

how people can spend their lives

putting others down, never knowing,

and yet be completely happy themselves.

 

And I want to know more..

 

I want to know why I am always

so confused with my emotions.

I want to know why everything is suddenly OK

when I'm with you.

 

 

I want lots of things,

But I never get them.

 

 

I want world Peace.

I want the world to explode.

 

 I want to be happy.

I want to be isolated.

 

I want you to love me.

I want you to stay away.

 

I want you to never change.

I want you to stop being so perfect.

 

I want to stop hurting myself.

I want to inflict as much pain as possible.

 

 

 

You know what I really want?

To stop contradicting myself.

 

 

You know what I really want?

To sort out these thoughts,

that are constantly whirling around in my head.

 

All I really want.

I want to understand.

    this is amazing because ive felt like this in the sense i contradict myself, maybe not about the same things but i contradict myself in my thoughts and its like my minds spilled out onto this page. i loved this so much "I want to know

    how people can spend their lives

    putting others down, never knowing,

    and yet be completely happy themselves." - i want to know to...i just dont get people. The crossing out was very effective too. loved it.welldone
