Mood - I don't wanna be by Gavin DeGraw
I studied the Geography of the room I lived in,
Every crevice and corner
Couldn’t comfort me enough.
I kept wanting more
How much is really enough?
How big do you want your cage to be?
Animal size?
Room size?
Street Size?
Earth Size?
WE will always feel imprisoned,
if that is what we truly want to be.
We will always wish to be a bird
Only to be greeted with its turd.
We are bound by certain chains
Which makes us human,
Why not wear it as the jewel
It possibly is
Rather than choke ourselves
With all that angst?

Very thought-provoking! I am sure we are sometimes our own worst enemies – in all sorts of ways.
ReplyDeleteEither we can relax in life and enjoy as it is or be forever chasing something we may never find. It is up to us to be happy in which ever one we choose.
ReplyDeleteYes, we need to atop asking how gig we can make it and start asking how small we can make it.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great difference between what we want and what we need, and we spend far too much time confusing the two!
ReplyDeleteI love the thoughtfulness in this ..............
ReplyDeleteThis is thought-provoking, as Rosemary said, and I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteVery good food for thought.
ReplyDeleteI love it when I stumble across original poetry online. I almost feel like it is a lost art. Great job. Visiting you from the good random fun link up.
