Now that have everything

You ever wanted?

In all honesty

Was happy for a minute

Then I wanted more

My mind consumed too often

Flip your perspective:

What if the outcome’s the best?

It all goes just right?

Thanks! The prompt made me think about a question I’m asking myself just now. How do I change old behaviour patterns?
