I want

I want

A Poem by Nathan Mann

I just want all the thoughts to stop.
I want to go back to bed,
but not alone with the s**t in my head.
I want to look at the stars,
but not think about how small I am.
I want to bring up my mom,
but not the tears she brings along.
I want to hear you say my name,
but not from so far away.
I want to talk to people,
but not be scared to be myself.
I want to be strong,
but not in a way my arms can help.
I want to have a friend,
but not one that puts me last.
I want to get in a fight,
but not one I could easily win.
I want to cry,
but not because I'm sad.
I want to be in love,
but not worry about it leaving.
I want to die,
but not today.
I want to sleep,
but not until the thoughts are gone.
