Fun? Happiness? Fulfillment?

Fun? Happiness? Fulfillment?
There are so many more important
things to do.

Work. Struggle. Persevere.
These are practical and worthwhile.

Why work?
Why struggle?
Why persevere?

Perhaps in search of
fun, happiness and fulfillment.

Having spent my life trying to find these
for others,
I forgot to seek them for myself.

It has been along time, icaros13 ( :
It is hard to balance life at times, often those of us that are incline too, put ourselves last. That is a big mistake and your poem reminds us, that we are as important to care, for as those we love.
In my eyes, Your small font represents how silent your voice is, and how it longs to be heard.

sounds very much like my own life, we all do that, get caught up in survival I have to say I still have fun, even if i have to entertain myself but there are days when nothing fills that space and mostly happy though if not ideal, and fulfillment, well poetry helps with that, especially poems by my favorites. Glad to see at least "attempt" but it can be fulfilling but it is short lived and we just want more but it keeps us inspired :) Maybe we should both try harder to make time for ourselves and the things we love.

Very nice poem! So true of so many people.

So relatable, reminds me of how much love I gave only to be devastated when lost. I forgot to save some for myself. Loved your poem!
