For Myself

January 31, 2023

I want peace,

I want fruitful happiness,

I want contagious joy,

I want butterflies, to fill my stomach, 

I want pride, 

I want unconditional love, 

I want sorrow, 

I want heartache, 

I want to feel. 


Yet, I can’t

I have loneliness,  

I have hopelessness, 

I have thoughts, 

I have actions, 

I have memories,

I have nobody. 


But, why, 

I have supportive family, 

I have loving friends, 

I have big dreams, 

I have high hopes, 

I have myself.

This piece represents how I can feel hopeless and that no one cares yet, in reality I have myself and that's all that truly matters.
