For whatever reason
I’ve always felt the need
to accomplish or achieve
whenever I’m doing anything

I look at others
whom seem very happy
just living

all they seem to require
is for life to be good

good food
a good song, a good book, a good movie
Good company
whether it’s family, friends, pets
and it doesn’t even have to be all of the above

it’s possible they want more
but they seem happy with just
Life being good

I wish I could be like that

It’s seems my happiness
Is dependent on this drive to accomplish or achieve
which requires success
which is very easy to measure

I either achieve or accomplish it
or I don’t
and I constantly don’t

And at the end of the day
even if there is progress
it’s hard, for me, to find happiness in that

this is what I try to come to terms with

daily

I don’t even feel like I was successful explaining that. sigh.
