people are so different
i see so many faces
so much joy
so much sadness.
i realise that
only children remain true to themselves
unburdened by the world's expectations.
everyone wants to have a new face
and give up the one you gave them.
they seek validation and approval
masking their true selves
they want to be in control of what surrounds them
but they forget you are part of that surrounding.
in their pursue of control
they lose sight of your presence.
i notice that
people with fewer things in life are happier
because they live up to what they have
finding joy in simplicity
and contentment in small blessings
they cherish the present moment
grateful for each day.
but people with much more seem to be depressed
burdened by their possessions
always seeking the next thing
never satisfied.
their abundance becomes a prison
their desires are never-ending.
do they seek perfection?
I also seek perfection
while I know I will never find it
is there an ideal I can aim for ?
