I want a million things
When someone asks me,
Well, what do you want?
I do not have a single answer.
I want a million things at once
All in different directions.
I want to move to another country.
To be able to walk down the street to my sister’s porch.
To hold hands on a date.
To light a candle and go to bed.
To bike across the country.
To be able to say I love you when I mean it.
To make more money.
To have a job with freedom.
To be healed of PTSD.
To never use social media.
To be able to see my grandma without dread.
To be a writer.
To tell my mom everything.
To put my hands in the dirt.
I want the snow to fall finally.
I want my cousin to know sobriety.
I want my mom to quit smoking.
I want my dog to live forever.
I want my step grandma to be in remission.
I want everyone to be ok.
I want us all to know joy.
