What Is It That I Search For?
I'm a mathematician and have taught mathematics and related courses for over 3 years. Still working on myself. Still I rise
Never Satisfied
Man daily seeks power, freedom, riches and all that he deems good, but no matter how much he gets, he always wants more.
What is it that I search for?
My heart is yet to find.
I sought life but I realize that
No matter how I live
I am living to die someday.
No matter how fortunate I am
I still run out of luck
I want so much
Yet the more I get the more I want.
I have power
But I still feel weak within.
I have freedom
Yet I am trapped in my own world.
I've had so many answers
Yet I'll never stop asking.
What is it that I search for?
My heart is yet to know.
For I have everything
Yet I own nothing.
Even in my riches
I still feel poor.
Even in my wisdom
I still seem foolish.
Even in my bravery
I'm still afraid.
No matter how beautiful I become
I still look ugly
No matter how famous I get
I still slide into obscurity.
What is it that I search for?
Indeed I will never know
For no matter how much I get
I am always insatiable.
