Wanting
Wanting to cry but nothing to cry for
Wanting to die but nothing to die for
Wanting to draw but no paper or pen
Wanting to write but no words to begin
Wanting to create but no tools in hand
Wanting to destroy everything that I can
Wanting to sleep but too angry to try
Wanting to weep but no tears left to cry
Wanting to scream but no noise comes out
Wanting to drown in a ocean of doubt
Wanting to run but I can’t even move
Wanting to show but nothing to prove
