Desires Until Death

Just a message for people who are chasing their goals

Some saw a dream in the night

Others saw it under sunlight

Is it a dream? Or is it a desire?

There is a difference. Or am I a liar?

Even though it is built on lies

You can't see that so you can't control your eyes

Now in the morning, In the night

You are chasing it with all your might

Sacrificed today for that desire

Sacrificed everything for that desire

In hope, that you will be happy in the end

Will you be? Wait till the end

The day came and it was the time

You got it and You were happy, but just for some time

Days passed, happiness decreased

It didn't stay long, your were not pleased

Again saw a dream in the night

Some saw it under sunlight.

Life has passed, you are on your deathbed

You have nothing but lot of regret

Death awaits you, it is the end

You have ended, but your desires see no end.

Always chased the gold when you were not at ease

Was it worth it? Living without peace?

You are awakened, but it is too late

You seek a chance, but death says you are too late.

It was a trap in which you were stuck

But you were too ignorant, so you had no luck

One thing that I have understood about chasing goals and dreams is that they are all made because of our desires. You needed a car, a house, a more expensive car, a more bigger house, so you made it your goal. But when you get it, it becomes normal for you, and then, you want something new. See, Desires have no end and if you try to fulfill all your desires, then you will sure meet your end, and still, you will have countless unfulfilled desires.

I am not saying that you should not have goals in life because some goals are crucial to happiness. For example - earning money is a very important goal that will give you the freedom you need and it will also play an important role in how happy you become, but the question is how much money you need? Similarly, how big your house should be? how big and expensive your clothes or your car should be? These are questions that will decide whether you get trapped by your desires or not.

You don't need much to be happy in this world. You can have a lot of money and still have very few desires. Most of us probably have what most people don't have. I think the one who understands that automatically becomes happy and satisfied.

Thanks for reading. Don't forget to comment;)
