I want

I see your point of the poem but all of the "I wants" become redundant and ditract from the poem itself. This also sounds very selfish I Want and does not appear to be a poem at all , but a list of demands. Chrys

Never selfish

I understand what you mean, but it's not a list of demands as I am not a demanding person, I was feeling like I had had enough as you do at the end of another working year, just fed up. I'm having a break now and recharging my battereries Fleur

The structure works for me,

however a different last line (or two) could really make it. Something that breaks out of the passive "I want" into the active I will. cheers, Jess "Who are you writing for?"
