Poetic-Verses

'' You Have Now Been Deserted ''


The desire for success,
Or a yearning for beauty,
Though both cause stress,
It's looked on as our duty.

To reach either goal,
We'll go to great lengths,
Even selling our soul,
Just to gain strengths.

How you use them,
Is for you to choose,
If you abuse them,
Yes, you may lose.

What you have got,
Just gives you depression,
What you have not,
Becomes an obsession.

Then kicks in greed,
It makes you so jealous,
You thrive on the need,
You become over zealous.

 You want everything now,
Your soul is laid bare,
You lose it and how,
But you no longer care.

To achieve your desire,
Nothing stands in your way,
The consequences though dire,
Don't cause any affray.

You grow much colder,
Losing family and friends,
But you're getting older,
You can't make amends.

From living the dream,
You would not be diverted,
Life you cannot redeem,
