Desires

she wanted to cry but she couldn't
she wanted to feel but she wouldn't
she wanted something to fill her heart now empty 
and full of despair
she wanted love and hope things that made her happy yet so sad
 she wanted to be devoured by life in all its flowers and butterfly wings
 she wanted so much,she wanted to much till having became a must and
she broke the morals and values that shaped and broke the code of honor 
that made her. Till she only saw a stranger when she looked at herself anymore

This poem makes you think about what you really should desire in this life. It also tells of how desires and wants can take over your entire being and completely consume you. This is a very thought provoking and true poem to life. Awesome.

Making wrong choices is part of growing as an individual. Those who never have made them, also never grew. I liked this write. It had an honesty to it./ Congratulations on having "Desires" featured. Vince

Very deep, I felt sad for her. Life can change us & shape us in ways we don't even realize, til it's already happened; you conveyed these emotions well. The good thing though is that even in the bad, we learn, we grow, the bad things do eventually pass, I can testify to that in my own life. One day we look in that soul mirror & realize we actually like who we see again; not because of things we've done but regardless of them, that God took the pieces & put us together better than before. :) Amy
