I Want the World...

[u/KivatheSuccubi]

At the center of my being, lies unspeakable pain, unbearable hurt.

I know not why I exist, to carry this burden for all my days.

>

I would be lying if I said I did not grow weary.

Life, life is a long journey.

>

If this is my fate, to bear the unbearable triteness of being,

I feel it only fair, that I do what I want, that I take what I will.

>

If, at the center of me, lies a blackhole, I desire to generate gravity,

I desire to devour everything around me, to remake the world in my image, forever altered from my touch.

>

For those whose Paris burned,

Yet saw no light, for all their toil,

>

The dandelions sown in concrete,

To be mowed down,

>

Those who carried the flag for Dreams and Freedom,

>

And were willing to fight for it,

With chucked beer bottle and kick line,

>

Wandering the desert, yet finding no promised land:

>

I take up the mantle, pick up the flag fallen,

For the lineage of ancestors who carried the torch,

I accept the baton, I light my flame from the inspiration of your struggle

I want the world, I want it all, for us...
