Nathaniel Johnston<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Waiting for something to change always reminds me<\/p>\n

That I\u2019m young. As I sit and watch<\/p>\n

The (measurement of time applicable) pass by,<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t help but laugh at my dreams and desires.<\/p>\n

Only the (contextual God of the moment) can assist me,<\/p>\n

Raise me up, so to speak. Think of it like this:<\/p>\n

Have you tried to imagine reality in such a way that only<\/p>\n

Fantasy could satisfy? Not in a (Conventional fantasy trope of your choosing)<\/p>\n

Kind of way, but in a real life <\/em>kind of way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what, I most recently reworked the world into allowing me to obtain<\/p>\n

(Physical object or situation that is \u2018hella tight\u2019) and I swear, it felt better to me<\/p>\n

Than anything I\u2019ve actually had.<\/p>\n
