The Need


 

Sometimes I feel the need to say something great

And yet the words never come

I wait for them

And I wait. 

but... 

 

They only seem to evade me.

I want to say something...

 

To do something, that would change the world,

To have someone, that would change it with me,

To feel something, that could change everything,

To be someone, that can make a difference;

 

And the possibility of that is so real that anyone in the same shoes could taste it... 

But only with the right words.

Yet... They never come. 

 

The right time,

The right moment,

The right pause,

The right phrase,

The right saying, 

The right……….

 

Yet again... 

Words fail me.

Without... the right word. 

 

The right……….

I am just a college student trying to live each day to the fullest. Whether that be staying in and watching movies or making them.
