how often have I thought I knew what happiness was? <br />always in the future, just beyond my reach. <br />how many times have I arrived at my destination <br />to realize something is still wanting? <br />that what I have in my hand is not what I want after all. <br />and the bliss I was looking for must be postponed <br />until yet another milestone is reached. <br />each time I arrive at what should be making me happy, <br />I discover some blemish or disappointment has snatched away <br />my rightful bounty of contentment. <br />After so many years of feeling the victim, <br />I must (finally) look to myself for the answers. <br />wanting what I have vs having what I want. <br />1-26-08<br /><br />shannon wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wanting-what-i-have-vs-having-what-i-want/
