Simple water

I want to be the smooth-faced girl in the photo
I want to be confident enough to be the old-crone
I want there to be a middle-ground

I want to be YOU with your perpetual degrees
I want to be YOU with your sexual all-night striptese
I want to be OKAY with being just-me

I want life to mean more than i-pod/i-phone
I want to eat organic and bother to home-grow
I want to stop the hypocracy inside that doesn't show

I want to stop wanting and start feeling
I want to stop wanting and start getting
R
E
A
L
I want to stop lying & start dancing like children
in puddles full of simple water

To need and to want, good write my friend.

I like it. The repetition seems to express great desire. I can relate.

despite repetition of 'I want to' the lines don't jar - now having made the point would the connection to 'simple water' be the same without them? You certainly express yourself very clearly!
