Empty Shallows

Emptiness? What do I truly want?

Want do I want?

Fame?

Wealth?

My wants are many

My needs are few

I am confused

New to this all

Instant gratification? 

For barely any work at all

I trail through thoughts

My greed goes free

I type much faster 

As I see me

Expose myself to the world

As what I dislike

Confused child

It seems I have lost sight

Of what really matters...

[George Coombs]

A great poem that seems to connect so well with modern dasty youth, interesting, well written and thought provoking

I loved this poem, especially since it connects to today's children/teens. The flow felt a little choppy to me, but other than that, it was a great poem!

Thanks, it was actually my very first poem. So that's probably why it feels so choppy.

Nice job for a first!
