Deluded wants?

Deluded wants?, by Daisy kabiu Was it stupid to want something you never had? Something that can't be touched. Possessing it was impossible. Finding it in all its glory Raw, unfiltered, and all-consuming, impossible. Something that can only be given. Sweet and soft. Shared, but not owned. You crave it, thirst for it. But Do you really want it? You see what it does to people, blind, corrupt, and drain their souls. But you tell yourself, those people don't know how to nurture it. They are weak. But aren't you the weak one? Scared to have something that is right in front of you. Deluding yourself that you have never found it. Yet it's all around you. You're not stupid for wanting it. You're the coward for not taking it. It's right in front of you. Accept it.
