Wanting

1–2 minutes

To read

I want to remember.

I want to be here,

I want to stop wanting,

yet cessation I fear.

What’s there when wants not?

Wants all that I got!

But the wanting and wanting’s

got me distraught!

    The vicious circle.
    If I want to not want that’s also a want.
    I guess acceptance is the only way.
    But then I want acceptance which is also a want.. Ha!
