Want

In the beginning there was a word and all things came from that word for if it wasn't for the word a name couldn't be and without a name you would starve cause if you want something you would have to name it now the words name everything so everything is wanted but not all could be gained want a word that named an urge a feeling a desire to obtain want a word if said repeatedly would sound closely to the mechanism that was used to awaken Frankenstein's monster the course of electricity trying to power up a machine it will give life hopefully a pulsating rhythm when it was realized that not all wants could be had more words gave names to feelings the feelings of not being able to get what you want annoyance frustration anger sadness but along with not being able to get the things that we wanted there were still the moments when we did gain our wants and if it wasn't for the moments of not being able we probably couldn't name so simply on the receptiveness of when we did excitement pleasure happiness more words were given to name a want that was given up on or seemed impossible to reach were gained by a thriving sensation an urge to hold a desire to not stop patience motivation pride achieve but then another realization occurred there were those that noticed even if some of the wants were not gained it wasn't as important or filling when someone would rest wake up and feel refreshed eat relieving the pain that came from our bellies and dizziness from our heads feeling most satisfied when done or when a great sadness came upon and nothing could be done for it and the only thing that would come out was a liquid a salty substance which expelled from our eyes tears when over gave relief calm but in the moment the word was going to be uttered announced known a great want swept over to look at another person to touch another person to use one's mouth on a others mouth attraction a build up of heat that asks for a connection and that's when confusion spoke if this is only in the category of want.. why is it so so urgent a requirement a necessity a... need truly not fully understood the difference between want and need when it comes to that fast paced heartbeat rush of blood to vessels that rise and throb.. the twitch of fingers trying to grab the constant contact of dilated depths want want want want the machine is at high voltage want want want want a power meter full and the monster comes to life but could you live only full on wants? oh the monster it's alive
