Wonder why!

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
