## "ALL I WANTED (A LONG-TIME HIDDEN MESSAGE)" by MJ Layao

(Read downward starting at "I want to be like this...")

My latest poetic original that was done in April 7, 2019. As you might see that the poem is quite long with 4 lines each and has 14 stanzas. And it's also a major achievement for me because I was able to finish the poem with a strict 6 syllable per line, with deep words and has some rhyming words too. But it doesn't really matter that much because the message is what's more important.

"All I Wanted (A long-time hidden message)" is indeed given and does not need to be comprehended at all. In the first two stanzas, I was actually expressing myself that I have so many dreams, and that I should be happy and live my life colorfully. The third stanza says that if there was something that could change what I believe in, would that be the person I'm addressing? The next stanza simply defines 'possess' as an equivalent to the phrase 'be with us.' Why? It is because I feel that the person is always away from us and I can't even think any happy times together. While the 5th stanza explains further what the subject does when he/she is near, weak, quiet, and it's like there's a barrier in between us. The aliens in the 6th stanza refer to other people that the subject always hardworkingly work for. I just ask for the subject to do the same as I only see his indolence (laziness). But jumping to 9th and 10th stanza where they were referring to the first 2 stanzas about the changes that might occur just because of this need I am secretly asking, hoping that it would be seen by the addressed. The last 4 stanzas are left, explaining my maturity which implies the objectivity that I have right now from getting this anger. As another complaint is given, guilt comes because of the madness I feel inside. Lastly, I said that I can't wait forever for the subject to change, so please make a move for maybe all I want is you.

This poem is written with all my heart. I can't really say who's the person addressed in the poem, I'll keep it a hidden person. But even though that's the case, I know there are also relatable ideas given in the poem. That's it for this poem. I hope you loved it!
