Desire Is Never Satisfied


Desire; Longing, wanting. That internal yearning one feels. Something we all chase after But is always out of our reach. We try to satisfy our avidity, But does it ever really work? We love, we hate, we do irrational things, Thinking it'll quench our thirst. However, you and I both know It never works. Why? Because, one does not truly know What they desire. So, one will always feel The pain of unsatisfaction. In turn, our fascination grows even more And we'll indulge ourselves in what we think we want. And ignore the fact that what we may truly desire Is right in front of us. But we may never realize it.
