Overwhelmed

We all want something

We all crave something

We all lust for something

We all believe that when

We get “that”:

We will be happy

 

But the truth is: You will get “that” and

You will want something else

You will crave something else

You will lust for something else

Thus you'll never be truly “happy”

 

So, live day by day

Moment by moment

enjoy the ride of life

 

Fear, frustration, dissatisfaction

Will end

 

Accept that you'll never be truly “happy”

and all that remains it's actually the thing

We all crave for.
