The Art Of Want

No you will not silence me
For I have spoken, all my needs

No you will not temper me
For I have gifted, you with me

No you will not raise a hand
For I have answered, no demands

Yes you may speak in earnest
However, I, will give you permit

Yes you may recite the truth
However, falseness, burdens proof

Yes you may walk with me
However, I, will take the lead

You see my words, my disposition
For I, yes I, lead with precision

Acknowledge that I hold the power
The art of want will soon devour

My needs are many, your will is weak
While I grow strong, you feel defeat

Confidence yes, you might say that,
So bow your head, then tip your cap

I am the one, the world’s been waiting
I lean on words, give chills to pages

Why I want, and what I have
Two personalities
One good, one bad

Which will take me where I need
I will not know until the seeds
Are planted in my restless soul
One will see victory
The other will go

The art of want, pure desire
Will I suffer?
First step, denial

Shrug my shoulders
Raise my head
Eyes of focus
Lust of red

You may just meet
One, or the other
Both named the same
Just distant brothers
