worth - questioning

by. rsy

on my way to a bright, big future

an internship, a job, a glass ceiling of success

“anything is possible”

staring at train tracks, i boarded the train

and imagined a montage of where my life was headed

beautiful images..

the whole world awaits

"anything is possible”

if i stay the course and apply myself

supposedly, the destination is happiness

but why is that so..

unattractive?

is it worth all the toil for the gain?

will my goals in life achieved,

will the happiness that they bring,

make me feel seen

and happy to my heart’s content?

is it possible for happiness

to fill a void of hollowness?

can everything life has to offer

truly be worth it?
