In my lifetime

I've tolerated more than my heart could take

I've given more than I have received

I've been there more than those who were supposed to

Be there for me

I've chased love

I've been down and to a better place

I've let certain things go in lust of a better taste

I've watched time pass by moving at a slower pace I've chased

Pleasure

I've made others take a loss for my gain

I've gained at the cost of someone else's pain

I've been an active student of the game

I've chased wealth

In my lifetime I've realized

That there is more wants than needs people are facing

And sometimes what we already have is what we aren't embracing

I understand that every last person in this world has desires

But I also understand

That only a few are worth chasing

Chase
