I Want Something

I want something.

I don’t know what it is.

I’m not hungry.

I don’t need a drink.

I’ve had my caffeine,

but I’m right on a brink.

I need it badly,

this unidentified thing.

I need it right now!

This is freaking me out!

I’m coming unglued.

This need is about?!

I don’t understand.

I called my husband.

He knows what to do.

I freaked him out too.

He dropped everything

and now is en route.

There is nothing wrong,

and nothing I actually need.

Nothing has happened,

not out of the ordinary.

I’m completely confused,

the start of scary.

I want something.

I don’t know what it is.

Don’t stop for candy.

Don’t buy me a drink.

I don’t know what I want.

I’m right on the brink.
