Just a Ripple.

Always competing, but never measuring up.

What's inside this burning cup?

I try, I try, but still I fail.

When will I finally prevail?

Why can't I just be happy with what I have,

and not constantly wish, and hope, and crave?

Is there something my heart understands;

why must I have never ending demands?

I know nothing, so what can I say?

I am just another ripple in an ocean wave.

I may look normal, but inside my head spins.

All I want is to hold hands,

and to be happy in then end.
