Wish and Want.

Title says it all.

I wish I liked the lies
as much as I like lying
and the prize
as much as I like
prying.
I wish I liked the mask
as much as I like hiding.

And the thrift
as cheap as I am.

I wish I loved the star
more then I want to be one.
And the pages,
for more then is written on them.

I want to love the dream
for the reality it holds

And the ideal
as vain as I am.

I wish I could love
the martyr
as I love jealousy

I wish I could love freedom
as much as it loves me.
