Want

a poem by Shivani

What want thee you want
will they define you
or will you defy them
Never will they end
nor will they die
Let them not take you that far
with return lost for ever
sit back thee
and ask with in
Who am I
and who are they
Wants are empty
and you are to blossom
wants are growing never to die
and thee you are to die but still grow
for all to keep you remember
in their hearts and souls
You are to move faster and faster than these wants
who try now and then for your catch
Leave them aside, throw them away
Us are the one and they are many
and when you are far far ahead
they will be left behind to lose their way
You will be grown
They will be lost.
and me will smile and smile and smile alone…
