reach
grasp
look under every rock
(I know it's around here somewhere.)
I could have my heart's desire
if only I were:
prettier
smarter,
younger
richer,
anything (and anyone)
but
who I am.
Then I could attract
the person
the money
the job
the fame
that would lead to
Paradise,
instead of having to accept
that everything I
need
might be here already
(inside)
(ignored)
(overlooked)
(undiscovered)
inside of me.
This is a Sunday Scribblings post.
