Longing for better,
Living one life and dreaming of another one
Dissatisfaction, Disaffection,
I need another make over,
A new fresh start, A new boost to my ego
I just know it will all be worth it. It will get me cracking.
Into the best time I ever had. I ever dreamed of having.
The dream we all share. The living we all have in common,
The public one, the private one
But none of them making us happy. Glad to be alive.
Bring our dreams into our every day living.
We always mull over what ifs,
Better cards had been dealt.
Better futures had been handed out,
Better tomorrows could be shared.
But it all is so hard, so boring,
Nothing works,
Nothing happens,
No hope left.
A life less lived because
Not accepted for what it is, for what it offers,
Always looking at the stars, looking for more,
Weighing, comparing, falsely admiring other people’s success.
A sense of envy and entitlement devouring us.
I should have been rewarded. I should have won the lottery, got the promotion.
This is my life, but I don’t like it.
I don’t want that one, I’d much rather have another life.
