Theories

Theories

We want to live the exciting lives ourselves,
ones seen in movies, TV and the tabloids
when in truth it is hard for us to imagine something
bigger than ourselves for ourselves
instead of the mess we made of our simple lives.

Yet we tell ourselves we can, it just depends on the next few months
and if we can save enough money
or meet the right people
meanwhile never learning life's true lesson
that should do what we do because
it needs to be done not to impress others.

For we are always worried about what others think
instead of pressing on with
hard work, determination and lost of failures first
instead, we wish for what we can't have, don't enjoy what we do
and never stop having theories of why we never became who we wanted to be.
