This Empty Want Word

This empty want word
Daughter of scarcity and abandonment
Sister of comparison
So not-enough

This empty want word
Scared shape-shifter
Silent undesired screamer

Doesn’t belong with the courageous
Wild wanderlust
That varnishes your mane
And creates an abundant chance
For the sun rays to dance.
