Analysis of The Desire
Humans occasionally claim to love themselves
We say it to mask our sadness of not being wanted.
The Sensation of being desired
The Desire to be loved
A tiny white lie
Fear of Fire
Afraid to give in
Pretend to be great
Life akin to a candle whom burn itself to provide light to others while you remain in the dark
Broken & Torn apart
Wandering about around trying to disguise your loneliness.
&
Forgetting to remember that life is too short.
Open Heart & Open Eyes
Be wary, scared of loneliness
opening your heart
to the wolf in sheep’s clothing
Only a person who risk is free
Is there Joy beyond your name?
