To Want

I want to live again, but I don't know how. I want to have faith, but it is gone. I want the truth, but I only hear lies. I want to be fearless, but I am afraid. I want to find myself, but I am lost. I want to trust someone, but I can't get too close. I want to move toward a new beginning, but I am paralyzed. I want to be free, but I am trapped. I can dream of these things... dreams don't come true.
