Johnny Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Enough

Why do I complicate my life,
 in a culture of expectations.
Overcome by damn frustrations,
 wasting my future years in strife.

Chasing things I don’t want or need,
 accumulating useless .
Is it stupidity or greed,
 either would be hard to admit.

Living is so much more than just stuff,
 based on an icebergs lofty tip,
 held in a tight white knuckle grip.
Gathered bits wring one's heart rough,
 when you don't know you have enough.
                           ~Johnnymac

Daniel Turner March 12, 2023 at 9:01 AM Johnny, if everybody only took what they needed instead of what they want, there would be leftovers for everyone. For some unexplainable reason we always want more and wind up getting rid of stuff because it's unnecessary junk. An endless cycle. Loved your poem, hence the long comment:) Johnny Mcconnell March 12, 2023 at 10:53 AM Thank you Daniel.
