Wanting More is Less
Folder:
Wrestling With Happiness People always want more.
They are never comfortable with what they have.
Once they get something they want,
It is suddenly no longer as good as it was before.
People are never satisfied.
Obviously striving for something better is not a bad thing,
But people need to get it through their heads
That being contented with what they have is no crime either.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
People need to settle down.
They see something as wonderful and ideal,
Yet when attaining what they so desire-
It is rapidly a previous fixation that they
Would like to rid themselves of as soon as can be.
It is cast away as if it were a waste of their time.
People need to get a clue.
Be grateful for what you have.
Keep in mind it is possible that under your nose
May actually be what can make you most happy.
"It's not having what you want, its wanting what you've got" Sherly Crow

One of my favorite quotes ~ (sung by one of my least favorite artists)....
This poem makes so much sense. I have been meaning to say things like that for a while. I have a poem about normalcy, but Its not as good as that.
Keep it up.
