Wants
I want to write an ocean,
But as I write the will fades into obscurity,

I want people to appreciate me,
But attention makes me crave anonymity,

I want to follow my passion,
But my patience is tainted with frailty,

I desperately long for my soul mate,
But the nihilist in me questions it's plausibility,

I want to believe in something,
Besides Karma nothing lives up to my rationality,

I want sometimes the materialist comforts,
But the empath in me makes me feel guilty,

I could ignore the evils of humanity,
But the arrogant me starts questioning my morality,

The struggle is quite cumbersome for me,
I face it day by day holding on to my tenacity...
