Star Pieces by Dan Zuewski

I want a wavelength
I want a match
I want a star piece
Shining brightly
To get me through the night
I want world peace
I want clarity
I want more than just this
Complicated insanity
To keep me happy

You think I’m being too picky
With all the things I say I want
Well how long have you been me?
How much time have you spent
Being secluded in your own design
Biding time for a breakthrough
Biding time for remembering
Who’s who and humanity

I want something more
Than what you give
I want to be remembered
For more than just this
Constant incessant raving
I want friendship
I want respect
I want to give my all
And in return
Get what I haven’t wanted yet

I want more than you can give me
I want more than I think I know
I want just what I need to keep breathing
And a little something extra
To keep me on the ever present go
I don’t think it’s wrong
To have specifics
I don’t think I have to settle
For what you think is best for me

Let me ask you again
Just when was the last time
You were me?
Just when was the last time
You knew how I really felt inside
God, I feel like escaping this skin
I want to resurrect myself as something new
I want to seek out and destroy
All my detractors, my critical trash compactors
Always letting me know where I’ve toed the line
And fell off to the wayside

I want to be more than just a person you know
I want to be more than just a could have been
They say I want more than could ever be given
But that’s not stopping me
That’s not keeping me held down
I will get what I want eventually
For now I’m just taking my time
Until it’s the right moment to strike
For when I do, when the goal is in sight
I will move like the wind
I will move like the silent shadows
I will find what I need and take it
And never have regrets

I want to know what life is like
Without those missing pieces
Those wonderful shining star pieces that guide my way
I think I can reach out and touch them sometimes
Always glowing on my ceiling
Above my head
Always just above my head
Always just out of reach
Not this time…
Not anymore…
They’re in my hands…
