Searching for Someone

Who is it we are trying to find?

By Mark Jazz NelsonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Some search for what seems to be forever,

But never seem to find that so called "one,"

Seeing so many different faces,

After each one a new search begun.

Some desire and search for honesty,

When they themselves are living a lie,

They lie to themselves daily about their own lives,

Preventing their search for honesty to ever be satisfied.

Some desire and search for commitment,

When they themselves get bored so easily,

Switching interests more often than their clothes,

Wondering why others leave them so leisurely.

Some desire and search for devotion,

When they themselves give when it suits their needs,

Choosing when and how much of themselves to give,

Finding that a selfish heart is all that this mindset breeds.

Some search for what seems to be forever,

Do they understand why they cannot see?

The one that they are trying to find,

Is a different "one," it's "one" as in "me."
