"How do you want

to see the world"

"Want"

Where does want

fit in that sentence?

Where does desire 

lie in a tangible action?

Want is frivolous in

my reality. 

My reality contains pain

and avoidance,

How can I "want" to 

see the world in a

specific way.

There is no language

fitting and poetic to end this

It just is what it is.

Very direct and painful, like a needle to a vein.
