I Want... 5-5-02
I want the happy
I want the sad
I want the good
and I want the bad
I want to laugh
I want to cry
I want to do
and I want to try
I want to want
I want to need
I want to hurt
and I want to bleed
I want the passion
I want the fury
I want to be judge
and I want to be jury
I want to love
I want to heal
I want to hate
But goddammit, I want to FEEL
Dear Not-So-Emotionally Unbalanced,
Wow! This one is great! I have never read such a succinct and honest account of what it feels like to be depressed or on medication for mania.
The distance between the words and what you feel approches 0 as you bark out your commands of what you want.
I really love this. This is true. What you wrote is true.
