writing I Want/ I Need (poem)

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

I was feeling kind of down for some reason, so I felt like posting this. It's a sad poem I wrote at a very dark time in my life, though unfortunately most of the problems I had that caused me to write this never went away. I  greatly appreciate any of your comments or suggestions.

 

"I Want/ I Need"

 

I thought I wanted fortune.
I thought I wanted fame.
I wanted my words in pages,
And my artwork hung in frames.

I once wanted love;
I can’t remember why.
I once thought all I wanted
Was to be remembered when I die.

I was to be a hero,
Who had no need for friends,
But now all my wishes
Have come to a sudden end.

Now I don’t want to be wealthy.
I don’t want to be wise.
I don’t need to save you,
Or silence any cries.

I’ve lost all my friends.
My family is behind.
Darkness overwhelms both
My cold heart and my mind.

Now I’ll sit here in silence;
Me and my coffee mug,
And though I be a loner
All I need is a hug.

The story of my life. I can relate to some parts of this poem for sure. Your emotional poems always seem to connect with me. 

 

As always this poem was well written. I must admit, you are a better poet then I.

This is probably going to sound somewhat weird but I actually sometimes think that when you post a poem your reading my mind on either what I feel about the world or my life in general. Though my thoughts don't necessarily mean i emotionally feel that way, but sometimes i admit I do think it...
