Wonder why this desire
To have more
To know more
To achieve more
When I know that I can’t stomach it all
Wonder why these
unfulfilled dreams
Of creations so big
That I need a lifetime
To make them all come true
When I don’t know how long I will last
Wonder why this emptiness
When I have all that I need
And all that I love
Yet this aching hunger insatiable
When I know that I really don’t want it all
Why this need to be accepted
Loved and cherished
When I know that I’m the one
Who has been selfish
Holding on instead of giving
Wanting, instead of sharing
And lusting, instead of loving
Wonder why this pain
When I ought to be happy
