More or Less

What I want
is a peaceful life
What I have
is chaos
A never-ending bang
beating down the door

I need to
escape the bedlam
I need more
promise of joy
Fewer tears threatening
to steal every hope

  1. I’m fond of saying I like my excitement (chaos) in books and movies, and my real life dull. Dull is peaceful. 🙂
