Satisfaction

Will we ever be satisfied?

when we get
what we think we want
are we only fooling ourselves into
thinking
we are happy

or is all the suffering just
a result
of us growing
and learning how to
begin

existence without desire


contingent on another-

The pain of longing
the pain of wanting
juices entice
really are they so painful?
when from them
you learn and grow
sweetening the pot

without them
bread grows stale and boring...

And where is your pain now?
Dissatisfaction
Resent
Sacrifice
or complacency?

Will we ever be satisfied?

In the end we only have
ourselves
In the beginning we only had
ourselves
In our lives we can only
truly
depend on
ourselves
And we had better begin to live
and forgive
for
ourselves

Know!
and only then
will we be truly
satisfied.
