I want that new dress
I want those shoes
I want that body
I want to be liked
I want to love him
I want him to love me
Why?

I am being extreme
Even for me
To say that things, feelings, people, love does not matter
To say look at the bigger picture
That is not how humans work.

but it is hard when the people I meet here are not allowed to want
they do not have any possessions to flaunt
even their love is prearranged
and when they want, their life still remains unchanged

How do you stop the cycle of wanting and begin the cycle of accepting
I am not sure I will ever be able to do it.
