More (It's All Up to You)


"More"

Written By: Madison P. B.

 

Wanting so badly

Wishing for more

But how can I ask that of you?

 

I should be happy

That I get something

But I fall short of happiness every time

 

I want more

There it is-that word again

More

 

It's so selfish to want

To be ungrateful of what you have

To always want more

 

But I somehow never grasp that

Before it's too late

To be content with what this is

 

Whatever this is.
