Discontment

One thing I believe in my heart's deepest core All my life I have wished for something more But we live and die with our minds so closed We never realize that we've gotten what we were owed As a young simple fool, with my eyes on the world All I wanted was to fly, to be propelled, to be hurled To get a chance, just a glimpse of the wonders to see To embrace and to feel all the pleasures next to me So many wants and desires and dreams in me I could never have thought they would all agree To come true in a span so short and sweet Have me touch and caress them, just fall at my feet Looking back its clear that all I should do Is to bow my head in absolute gratitude For if truth be told, I should head for the door But sadly, I want more, and more and more
