I Want What I Can Not Have-W
I do not want to become old
I have seen my father in dismay
I have been it a hundred fold.
I want to eat pizza and pasta
And never gain weight
I want to grow up without wrinkles.
I don’t want my cheeks to blush
Like they do after ******
I want to feel even if it hurts.
I don’t want the kisses
That produce strings of saliva
On lips after long kisses.
I don’t want to get my education
To dance topless
For matured men in black suits
I want freedom without responsibility
I want what I can’t have,
I don’t want limits.
I don’t want to do anything
With my life
But write about it.
