Everyone wants what they cannot have at times
That pang in your chest
One to detest
There of pure longing

The feeling when you know
That ship will never set sail
At least for you
Though others board with ease
to make memories
Out there on the seas

But not you
You’re stuck where you are
Not to move
Even if you wanted to

You get used to it eventually
Though it always hurts
To know you cannot do
Go nor be
What you want most

though
If we can’t accept this
We live stuck in fantasy
Thinking on and dreaming
Of what we ought to be

Living life inside a lie
That you spun yourself
Stuck inside a box
That you, who into it climbed

Please don’t be silly
Don’t be a fool
Like every person out there
Who’s ever wanted more
Tried to even up the score
With a sense of longing
That they could not endure

They’ll just sit there laughing
Thinking that they’ve won
they’re shrouded in delusions
unable to see
They get nicked and cracked
But pay it no mind
Never considered the fact that they
Were beaten more than thought
And they’ll never know they’ve shattered
Till they see the glass
