All I Want

By Slicks78

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

“All I Want” Happy memories never last My better self faded into the past Left me with a mold That won’t hold anything but pain The tear stains remain And I’m just looking to be full When I feel pushed too far, and pulled too close (Chorus) All I want, is to mean something Left with a clean slate for once All I want, is to be happy in my skin I search inside, nothing within Where do I start? When I can’t even read my own heart Stuck on what used to be Feels like no one can see me I’m just a shadow of the past Trying to make what’s left Last till I figure it out (Chorus) All I want, is to mean something Left with a clean slate for once All I want, is to be happy in my skin I search inside, nothing within All I want is to be myself With a path that’s clear All I want is to understand Why painful emotions Always get the upper hand All I want is more of what I had Less of what I got That’s all I want..Based upon roughly on "Too Little, Too Late" but...not exactly.
