You will never want...

… to be unwanted in a place you call “home”.

… to be lonely even in the company of friends.

… to be unable to sleep even when you’re exhausted.

… to be happy but no one to share it with.

… to be elated and then deflated.

… to have children, but they treat you like a “stranger”.

… to have a job, but no certainty.

… to have no reason to smile even in echoes of laughter.

… not to be childlike just ‘cause you’re physically mature.

… to want things you know you will never have.

… to hate the ones you love.

… to love something, not ‘cause you want to but because you have to.

… to be alive but dead from the inside.
