Striving For The Unconceivable

Striving For The Unconceivable 

It is not grades, it is not money, and it is not looks

You can’t make it, you can’t earn it, and you can’t get it from books

It is not her, it is not him, and I’m not trying to get slim

It’s not a house, it’s not a car, and it’s not a win

It’s not a phone and it’s not a job

But I can feel it in my heart

My mind ponders upon it during every single moment of life

With what idea could it possibly have a definite link?

I think in the morning and I think in the day

I think while a drive, I think while a lay

I simply cannot stop thinking

But I can feel it in my heart

As I look out the window, where it is bright and sunny

These thoughts are glistening in my mind like honey

Listening is the sky and the trees, listening is me

Thinking again very profoundly, there is something I see

What could it be? Maybe a person I know

Maybe a person I like, I don’t know

But I can feel it in my heart

Pursuing my dreams enjoying every single time

Sitting back and watching the sun’s calming shine

I now realize what it was that I was longing for

But wait, it is so dear to me, how can I share?

It inspires me to do my best

It inspires me to prosper

And I can feel it in my heart.

Good poem :) I can totally understand the part of not bieng able to stop thinking- no matter what you are doing. The line "and im not not trying ot get slim" definetly gave me a chuckle. What is is though that your talking about- I wanna know now!

P.S- "I know realize what it was that I was longing for" Did u mean to say I NOW realize? Just thought I should point that out incase you missed it :)

Perhaps it was not you intent, but this made me reflect on all the concepts I
am able to grasp yet unable to convey to others. You definitely captured that
feeling thank you.

Thanks for the review!

I corrected the mistake you pointed out (:

And to answer your question about what 'it' actually is that i'm thinking
about, I wish I knew! It feels like I have this feeling, this emotion that keeps
me going in life. Without prospering in everything I do, I would find life pointless.

Thanks again!
