a necessary want

the dream
once a simple desire
now transformed to necessity
having cried for fulfillment...

again...
and again...

the dream
once conjured in my mind
now threatens to fade
in the face of all odds

the dream
once triggered happiness
now leaves an ache
where hope was once etched

.......................................................................................
(when a want has become a need)

Have you ever wanted something so bad
that it makes you wonder
why you even placed so much emphasis -
one that no one else seems to share, on it?

Then you start to remember
how you had once promised yourself
every single time you needed a reason
to hang on just a lil bit longer for just a lil bit more

But the time just never seemed to come.
And just when you thought it would...
it never does.

Then you start to realise
that every single time you deny it, delay it or compromise on it
all the various reasons continue to build up...

Feeding the transformation of desire
into a sense of motivation
and finally...

into a necessity.
