Should I Be Content
Should I be content?
With what I haven’t tasted
With what I haven’t felt
Places I haven’t been to
The hand that life has dealt
Or should I rend my wings
As I burst into flight
And soar for just a while
In blur of vivid white
Claiming the day and night
Then fall to the ground spent
Unable to repent
Lying still to die
My last thoughts
A question why
I could not be content
