I wantA 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.
