There are those in this world who struggle
With obsessions on the double
Whether large or small, harmless or not
They seem to put them through troubles
Some of these are addictions to people:
Twisted love, desire upheaval
Emotions warping into demons
Which drive holders to lose their reason.
Others are more material
Money, gadgets, books about heroes;
Jewels and costumes made to wear out
With little time given, despite their clout.
Yet some obsessions are those of ideals:
Fortune, fame, power revealed.
Things you can’t just hold in your hands
But in your head, they truly stand.
No matter what, obsession is danger
Wrapped in a bow, but merely a stranger
Designed to take time from your life
And have it directed to fiery strife
It’s okay to dream and work for your goals
But don’t lose focus on other chores
In your day, or the ones you love the most
Lest you eternally lose the score.
