Desires



A world of mystery
Lurking in the depths of nature
Behind each tree
Beneath every rock
A surprise within each element
Striving for more
Hunting for worthiness
For happiness
Or the idea of it
Surrounded by the pressure of being someone
Doing something
To be superior

About this poem

I wrote this poem because everyone is constantly trying to achieve what they desire and end up in a loop of disappointment when they can’t find it.m
