I Want

How moderating wants gives me more than I could ever wish for.

I Want

I want to feel loved, not the most loved.
I want to be happy, not the happiest.
I want to be part of your life, not the biggest part.
By doing what I want I may be the latter
for you to be most important, most happy, and most loved.

A beautiful poem. I like the way you used the words to make your point. Love is like the closing lines.
"By doing what I want I may be the latter
for you to be most important, most happy, and most loved."
Thank you for the excellent poetry.

This is very beautiful....we should all want these things and yet to be so humble as to not want the best or all of something...nicely done...

[Adambomb]

Greatest act of selflessness and love. I enjoyed this poem. Keep writing

[Adambomb]

Hey Annie, thank you so much for your thoughts! I hope to more of you on here!

Holding on to grandiose dreams often ends in disappointment - much wiser to bring our desires into realistic realms, work toward them, and realize that our dreams are fulfilled when we fulfill another's. Well done, Adam!

[Adambomb]

Very true! Your interpretation is beautiful and thank you for sharing!

To maintain a balance of emotions is often difficult but when achieved may be very rewarding, and worth the effort. When one does not have to have the most, be the best, be loved the most it indicates a maturity that indicates one is happy with who they are, and who they hope to be. When you fulfill the want, as you express, "By doing what I want I may be the latter for you to be most important, most happy, and most loved" is an act of love itself!! Humility is a wonderful trait and does not come easily to some! Whether you have always been humble, or learning how to be more humble, it is an admirable trait!!

Your 5 lines say much. I admire your effort and hope you fulfill your "I Want"!!

[Adambomb]

Sheila, thank you so much for your response. I am a huge fan of your work and I really appreciate your perspective and insight on something so dear to me!

"The latter". Hmm? This reflects commitment to your love by not being selfish which is the beginning of not only happiness but wisdom. A good trait to have.

[Adambomb]

Thank you for your kind review! I also intended for "latter" to be a play on words as I go back up the traits in the opposite order- a type of "climbing up a ladder" to love.

Interesting.
