It bothers me
to want anything
unnecessary.

Desire seems
to be
compulsory
due to my
humanity,

a built in
glitch
in the
system.

I want
games, and
new clothing.

It is illogical,
wasteful
when pleasures
can be gain
freely.

Nature is open
to me.
The library
has all I can read
like a literary
all I can eat
word buffet
which is
intellectually sweet.

Then there is
the wanting
of someone
who is
unhealthy
for me.

Like a disease,
dangerous
and exhausting
costing
my sanity.

It bothers me
to have this
desire leash
tugged regularly,

but I know
with certainty
the only time
I will desire
nothing
will be
when death
takes me.

So, what
am I to do?
