I am not as sad as I think I am
As tortured as I would like to believe
Actually, I have it pretty good.
Above-average intelligence
A loving family
Plenty of material possessions
Amazing friends
An assurance of the next meal
An education
How is it that in spite of all of this,
I still feel moody?
I never feel 100% satisfied with myself,
Because I am not 100% satisfied with my life.
But why?
I live the ideal American dream.
Are people blessed with opportunities allowed to be unhappy too?
Or am I to spend the entirety of my life being thankful?
How can I be thankful if I’m used to what I have?
It is difficult to be thankful until that thing is taken away.
E.D.
