Not content

The feeling of being pushed by the storms of my desires for a relationship and my desire to be content without one

I am tossed by waves, thrown by storms,

A small boat in the ocean.

My feet firmly planted on shifting sand

Never able to find a foundation.

My heart chasing wave after wave,

only to see them crash away.

I do know life’s true foundation,

I have been born again.

Completely enveloped in my Lord,

Is where I am found.

Why can I not be content,

Living where I am.

Why does my heart so want another?

Why can’t life be enough?

I look and hope, chase and dream

Hoping that I can find her.

But time and time and time again,

Only ending up broken

It is hard for me to admit

Even to myself.

The loneliness that I endure,

And the relationship I want

As I battle between the two

the storms rage on

Wanting to be content, alone

But not content to wait there

Your poem is so true
Why can I not be content,
Living where I am.
Why does my heart so want another?
Why can’t life be enough?

Human is a typical species it is never content, makes problems on his own and keeps solving it the whole life time, beautiful by the way
