The feeling that I get, the blood, sweat, and tears
I've consistently developed these on the search for something greater
Lonely nights, aimless days, taking my time to learn someone else
It's not great when you realize they no longer know themselves
Caught up in what someone else says, keeping up with the joneses
No longer able to realize the wealth they have, stored at home
Here but never there, gone, long gone
All of the signs that tell you it's all wrong
After all the time invested, the thoughts you've ingested
The complaints you've corrected after the ideas been suggested
Telling her time and time again that you're the only one and you're there
But finally contemplating about what's happened your whole life
You've really discovered you've been there by yourself.

Very nicely written, it's hard, that's why it's best first to be happy with yourself first, and then if it happens it happens. I also have some cats and puppy dogs, that love me unconditionally..

Thank you. I appreciate the comment that it's written nicely, that and the first one on this site were spur of the moment. Unfortunately I don't know several techniques of writing or these could be different. Pets will always keep someone happy, I've found several people in my life that have made me happy in my past, but circumstances change and I still continue to remain happy with myself.

Truth

Very well expressed!
