Want

The voice comes in threw the phone
A crackle with my poor reception
The words I've never heard
Never thought about
Not seriously anyway
There is a breath on the other side,
The words come back to me
Repeated from his lips,
What do you want?
My mind is blank, Empty
I have no thoughts, words, feelings for this
No thoughts of who I am or what I want
Except when looking threw others eyes
Still no reply, this is the last time
He will say it, I can tell
What do you want?
To think as myself, about myself first
The strangeness of this sensation
Bile rises to my throat, I swallow down the burning
A quickening of my hearts pace, the normal tempo sped up
I don't know
It doesn't matter is the truth I know inside
I know that's what I would like to say
Because as my heart slows down
I know that's why i don't think of that
Its a sobering though
What I want doesn't matter
They come before myself
I have no control
I feel full circle now
I know what I want
But it is slipping away
I am back to where I started
Standing with a phone pressing against my ear and shoulder
Hands pruning from the water of dishes, still left to do
I can forget those thoughts
Bit inside me somewhere I know what I want
I know about the emptiness inside me
Family, friends, happiness,m confidence, beauty, and most of all
Love
But I forget and try to be happy with what I have
If I don't think about what I want I'm happy with what I have

Lost

I just wrote this about three minutes ago. After my mom cried herself to sleep. My family is moving across the country, and it's my call. To stay here where I have lived for the past seven years, where my friends, family, and boyfriend are. Or I could go with them, to a city I've only dreamed about seeing, to a place with new people who I'd like to met, where I can watch over my little brother. It's my call.....and right now I'm Lost so here it goes ;;

I'm just so Lost in life right now.
This year I need to consentrate
I need to get my act together
I need to do this and that
I need to stop my heart
To not feel anything for a little while
Just so maybe I could breath
I don't know what to do anymore
Escape isn't an option
I can't runaway, I always return
Even when it means crying at the doorstop
I'm lost
What do I do?
Watch all my family slip away from me?
Grasp at air, while they move away
Should I run to catch up with them
Should I stay or should I go
it will hurt her if I stay
It will hurt me either way
Its a doublesided blade
But I don't know what side to impale myself on
Stay or go?
