Hard to Please

Life's too short not to enjoy it,
just what are you living for?
Are you ever satisfied with what you have?
Or do you always want more?

Do the highs numb your pain?
Do your demons have names?
Or are you your biggest enemy?
Look inside, what do you see?

Can't buy what you're grabbing for.
Money won't get you what your heart is aching for.
All for success at all costs or the mighty dollar bill?
Makes a very bitter pill.

So much more,
is worth living for.
Beauty is all around you,
open up your eyes and take a good, long look around.
It doesn't have to be the way you've been living.
Peace of mind can be found.

    When I was a kid my dad told me "Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can lease it for a long time." Dunno why I posted that, just came to mind when I read this.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    I've never heard that before. I hope he was kidding.

    My dad once asked me when I was about 10, "What's the most important thing in life." I said, "Money." He said, "Happiness." That blew me away because he was always arguing about money - asshole.

    But, back to the poem - THANK GOD FOR TWINS!!!!! Totally answers that poem for me.

    i stood up and your name was my light
    but the business at hand was not to love everyone
    deterred
    i thought for a second that all these emotions wer sweet
    that someday you will speak for me and that the power of tonight
    well it will have to be alright without my input
    i have to much anyway

    so we wer mezmerized by speed and by togetherness
    and classic rock rocked the world id never heard before
    i mentioned you to the wrestler
    i was hoping for some motown
    after it settled down a bit
    i agreed that the power was true
    i just wanted you to shine

    so on we went and i just wanted to ask the wrestler
    what is saying her name with a question mean?

    is it like questioning whether her drummer keeps good time
    or whether her bassplayer drinks jack daniels or not

    open your eyes
    thanks to everyone who can read what i write without having to say something mean
