Why is it

that we find ourselves putting all of our energy

into the meaningless?

 

 

We do – we should be

We dream – we should realise

We say “if only” – we should accept

 

We strive and busy ourselves

Doing the things that we think will satisfy

But they never do.

 

Dreams are good

But not if they are impossible

Endeavour is important

But not when it takes over.

 

Any skill I learn

Any task I undertake

Is never going to be as important

As becoming a better person

As becoming a better friend

 

But becoming a better person is hard work

Becoming a better friend takes sacrifice

So it is easier

To busy myself

With the unimportant

The stuff that doesn’t require me to change

Doesn’t require me to be

Just to do.
