——-
All the things I want, do I really need?
Do I need more shirts, more heels, is that greed?
If I made my sum of money wanted,
Would it ever be enough? Life’s haunting —
Me to spend more cash, not to save some more;
Could having more money make you poorer?
All I want, need, matters not — I’ve enough.
——–
If I was perfectly healthy, I would lose,
Freedom over some of, my time; I’d choose —
A job with variety, nice colleagues, laughing,
Not working casually from home alone, aghast —
At how much harder it is with details,
How precision is difficult, I rail —
Not often, but when I’m tired, frustrated,
When my short term memory is flustered.
All I want, need, matters not — I’ve enough.
——
Yet I’m able to focus on writing —
My dream; building my talent’s exciting.
I’m able to write, home or a coffee shop,
Or to binge watch Netflix when I’m feeling,
Energyless and downcast, mind reeling.
Wishing I had my blessings and wasn’t ill,
I desire my full health, yet I’m fulfilled.
All I want, need, matters not –I’ve enough.
