What I Want and Need to Feel

impressions or things running around my head--

I want to be a good person
I need to be accepted
I feel that no one real gets me

I want to live a life of excess
I need to be respected
I feel as if its not possible to do both

I want to laugh naked, running through the woods
I need the wind touching my body
I feel restless, hungry and young

I want to love big and kiss long
I need to touch and be touched
I feel empty without it

I want to cry when I sing
I need to let it out
I feel too much too often

I want to fly like an angel
I need to see the heavens above
I feel grounded and bipedal and cheated

I want to dance, kicking up my skirt and be free
I need to emote, express and explore
I feel Im waiting for my life to wake up

sometimes you just have to say it out loud

Yes, indeed!! It is good to express your inner feelings with proclamations of "I want"!! Only when one is able to convey what they need and yearn to do can others know as well these desires and feelings!

And as Chris has indicated, Welcome to the Cafe!!
