I Want Not

By darkness_descends

I want not
To cry another tear
Or feel another twinge of pain

I want not
To have a broken heart
Or shattered dreams

I want not
To be worried about
Or cause any distress

I want not
To see another day
Or take another breath

I want not
To feel the beating of my heart
Or the tears in my eyes

I want not
To keep up my facade
Or hide my pain

I want not
To stay on earth
Or in a life I never wanted

I want not
To stop myself
Or try anymore

I want not
Your pity
Or your sorrow

All I want is not.

    This was quite interesting to read. I've never thought about looking at life from this retrospect, just not wanting anything. To be soulful, peaceful and free of any existence of others. I liked it. Scholar
