Unsatisfied
One may deduce that the bringing into reality of one’s goals and aims promotes satisfaction.
This deduction proves fraud.
For I have clambered up the ladder of academic achievement step by step until the very summit of it.
By this, my mother and others I have induced pride in me.
I have endeavored hard to overcome, topple, or come to par with my contenders in sports, and in that I have made considerable progress.
By this, I have brought a smile to my old man’s face and others like him.
I have charted and brought to light as much of life as I should have as yet.
By this, I have acquired numerous comrades and added immensely to invaluable experience.
All that I have done, or so, society dictates, should make for a content being.
My very soul disagrees, for I am a whirlwind of turbulent, violent emotions all imploding at the centre of my innermost being, threatening to reduce me to mere dust!
I am…but unsatisfied…
