wanting

by lifelifelife

i want to be seen for my mind 

i want people to view me differntly

but not how i see my self

dont get me wrong deepdown i love myself

not in a cocky way 

but i look in the mirror and i wish i wasnt me

but wanting to be someone else is a waste of a life

we always want no matter what we have

i just want to stop wanting

ill never be satisfied till all my desires are meet

but ill alway want more

<p>Hello, previously you commented on one of my poems telling me you hope that one day the world loves me back, thank you for that, that was very sweet and uplifting &lt;3 Today I&#39;m here to tell you . . . I understand and reflect very deeply with this poem, love yourself and accept yourself and if you can&#39;t accept yourself for who you are, glow up. Glow up into the person you so deeply wish to be through the inside &lt;3</p><p>Just a reminder about the difference in wanting &amp; wishing. Wanting is possible because you take action, wishing is not possible because there is no action on the other side. I&#39;ve spent a lot of my time wishing, lets start wanting and taking action &lt;3 P.S. lets be friends, I&#39;ll keep an eye out for your future poems &lt;3</p><p>Much Love,</p><p>Belyn</p>
