What do you want?

I ask myself this question every day

Like I'm expected to answer myself

As if there ever existed an answer



What do you want?

I want to be happy with this life I live

But I don't know what happy is

So it's not possible to define in my head



What do you want?

These words echo in my head like a nightmare

Unable to answer even the simplest question

Even when presented by my own subconscious



What do you want?

Acceptance in a world that mocks me so

Into a world that I have given my hopes and dreams

Yet received only hate, scorn and undying pain



What do you want?

To know that I am loved for what makes me unique

Yet that same uniqueness denies me love

And so the cycle will continue without fail



What do you want?

To be normal like the world wants me to be

And yet my emotions form moods I can not control

And the voices refuse to leave me be



What do you want?

Can anyone really say that they know what they want

Or is that answer nothing more than an illusion

Created by circumstances that change like the wind



What do you want?

Stop asking me this answerless question

Where nothing is right yet nothing is wrong

And everything is between the lines of gray



What do you want?

To lay down and cry in my bed away from everyone

I can't take my own thoughts any more

So I know I must keep them from this world that hates me already



What do you want?

To make love and know the moment will never end

But it always ends because of how I am

Because of the thoughts and emotions I do not hide well



What do you want?

More than all else is just to be understood

I imagine there's little difference if I turned to you

And asked what do you want?
