Always Get What I Wish For

[What right have I
To carry a gap?
To harbor a space?
To nurture a void?]

[Why didn't anyone tell me
The time would weigh?
The extra time I thought
Was for me
Is just there
I don't know how to use it
I'm out of practice.]

[When so many don't have the luxury
Of time
Of energy
Of potential
When the thing I wanted the most
Was space
How dare I feel ungrateful
For this yawning nothing
That (after all) I grabbed for myself?]

[This wasn't what I meant.]
