seems like I got it all backwards
most people get money and love easily
while spiritual connection, self-knowledge
inner peace and self-love
remain elusive
me
I know who I am and I love me
I am in tune with the forces that be
yet money and true love
are still just two dreams
that pyramid of self-actualization -
somehow I took care of the
top levels without mastering
the base
I laugh at the irony
so typically Pisces
then again I look around
and I see that some are not
really in love but just
settling for what they can get
and this old soul
can't do that
money, well, I don't need a lot
don't need fancy cars, furniture
mansions or jewelry
but I would love a vacation sometimes
some extra to have fun with
and give away
some health insurance, you know
enough to feel like I'm important
I'm lonely but not sad
poor, but not doing too bad
people say, you've got the most important things
and it's true, but
I feel like I can go to the restaurant
but not eat the meal
see love in the display case
but not know how it feels
this half-full box of happiness
needs to be completely filled
I will keep striving
there's nothing else to do
and someday when I'm old I can say
see how much I grew
