What I Want But Can't Have
I want my hand held
My neck kissed
To be hugged from behind
To feel loved
I want to travel
Not all around the world
But just to one city
A city I call home
I want to laugh uncontrollably
Smile until my cheeks hurt
Love until my heart swells
To feel as if I belong
But I can't have it all
I have to rot here
For what feels like an eternity
Until I can be released from this prision of hell

I wrote this piece when I have expressing to myself how loneliness felt, and still feels, to me. Even currently I struggle with it, but since I wrote this I don't feel it as often. I want people who read this to connect with it in a way that is like, 'Woah, I understand. I feel like this sometimes. Maybe I am not the only one...?'
It is not that I want anyone to struggle with loneliness, but I feel that loneliness is a very pressing and urgent matter in this time and age. Overall I want my readers to understand that is is okay to want something, to feel lonely, but to also okay to release all the emotions and thoughts. No one should keep it all to themselves, and if someone doesn't wish to speak to an actual person about it that they can put it into words. To put the unimaginable into the written word.
