Gatsby

I want to live like Jay Gatsby.

I want to be so passionate about something that it is all I see.

I want to be blind to the world, 

with it’s misery and pain, 

and only see the beauty of that which I truly wish to behold.

I want to be ignorant to the aches in my heart,

but drunk on whatever joy I experience.

I want to be consumed by the world.

I want to live for the past,

but always hope for the future.

I want to be everything and nothing all at once.
