I Want the Impossible

 All I want 
Is to save the world,
To solve the tangled mass
Of issues 
Woven by the greedy,
Thoughtless
And cruel. 

All I want 
Is to matter,
To become someone 
People love
No matter what.

All I want 
Is certainty.

All I see
Is a problem much bigger
Then anyone else sees,
Then anyone is able to acknowledge.

All I see
Is a world based on an idea
That stopped working long ago.

I see a world
Built on a massive problem 
That no one can fix.
A world
That dooms us 
To look down
Into the abyss,
To be swallowed by sadness
And grief. 

All I want
Is to be happy.

All I want
Is the impossible.
