What you want


What do you want?
How do you know?
Have you had it before?
Did your happiness show?

Is it what others told you
would make your sadness go?
If you have never had it
then how do you know?

Is it something so common
you see others with it?
Do you know they are happy?
Do they know they are gifted?

You should stop and question
what you want and why,
or when you receive it
your hopes may soon die.
