What I really want

What do I want?
I want a love like no other, that just happens somewhere in the middle of a weekday, without expectations or doubt
I want confidence to burn inside me like a flame
I want happiness to ignite me and my whole being

I want to be sure that I am suited for the profession that I choose
I want to be out of here, over there where my dreams shall lead me
I have been praying to God for him to send me where I am meant to go
Of course, I have fear, fear is only natural, especially when dealing with the unknown

I want to throw my head back and laugh
Forget all my past sorrows, doubts, and defeats
I want to hold my soul mate, make him happy, allow him and others to love me
I want to know myself, like I do when I'm happy

I don't wanna focus on negative things, like death and pain
I don't want to be used, abused, or mistreated
I don't want to be lead astray
I don't want to be a failure at the thing that I love most

I want to have a puppy dog, and watch it with the eyes of an innocent child
I want to have a home, a big happy home, where all my friends and family can congregate
I want a nice lime green VW bug, to just roam in
Although, these are all material possesions, they are not my life, nor is money

I want to be in love, like I've never felt before
To wake up each morning to the man that I love
and to know that it is only me, who can keep him interested
with my wit, my intelligence, my charm

I want to have children, perfect little beings, whose worried minds will never wonder as I have
if they are loved, cared for, cherished
who will seek only to be happy and to make others happy
who will never know the hell of OCD, or anxiety disorder, or even depression

I pray with all my being, that this is the last time I ever have to experience an ending
I am never one for an end
I don't do well with letting people go
I hold onto you with my heart, because I love so many people, genuinely

God is my savior, my shelter, my hope
He leads me to the correct path, regardless of what I may see
He humbles me through times like these
when I feel as if I can barely wake up in the morning

He brings new people into my life constantly
So that I am aware, that I am one of many
My problems are not unique or even personal
but they belong to all mankind, we just have to learn to deal

I place my trust in the father, and those on earth that have been sent as my angels
Who you are remains to be seen, but you're  there
Keeping me smiling, even when I feel as if Satan is breathing down my neck
You keep me alive, and youthful, and positive

i want all these things to continue
I want to grow stronger from my past sorrows, and to wake up to a new day
with renewed hope and love for all,
most of all, I need to quit wanting so much, instead just to let it happen, cuz sometimes what you want isn't what you need
