What I Want

I wanna be a dancer
and dance hardcore
blow the roof off before I even
walk through the door

I want everyone to know
that I didn't talk shit
I used a fake name for that poem
which was my one outlet

I want you to listen
and believe me, it's the truth
you're my one and only always
my conscience is my proof

right after we broke up
I saw your brother on his bike
I just wanna know why
you have to look so much alike

I wanna sit down
on the curb for hours
staring at the traffic
mentally regathering my powers

I wanna revisit
that awesome dream I had
a rhino in a parking lot,
a baby, and my dad

I wanna grow up living
one day at a time
never letting those sick feelings
come back to invade my mind

I wanna marry you
and we would love our kids
waking up every morning
so proud of what we did

I wanna live near family,
close enough to visit
with cousins and aunts and grandparents
That's not a pipe dream, is it?

I wanna help a lot of people
by writing an awesome book
I want everyone to read it
and take a second look

Last of all, I want you to know
exactly how I felt
then you'd finally understand
and your hard heart would melt

I wanted to get this out
and now it's time for me to be blunt
it breaks my heart, but I can't always
have the things I want
