Superfluous Poem by Melissa Ferrer

Superfluous

Rating: 5.0


In our life we stress our wants
never our needs or that we need
to coexist with what we have.
that it really isnt that bad and
We can actually survive.
Time Is wasted on trying to find perfection
we think we have all the time in the world
but that is the biggest misconception
it is true that it overflows generation to generation
but everyone knows that it takes concetration to focus
on what we need to in life
to ignite our passions
to catch up with the hype.
Our minds overflowing
with good ideas constantly growing
never showing interest in them.
Until of course our time is up...
we are determined to never give up
until the moment that we learn the four letter word
Can't
and the negativity it brings
is overflowing our brains
and our sanity is tested
our minds are maimed
the good, the bad, the ugly and the in between
the lives that we live the dreams we dream
filled with these can't's and don't's
these what if's and won't's
being obliviously foolish
our ignorance blooming
our minds consuming
these negative vibes
till we die and the time line
over flows, branches out
touches those we do not know....
we have too much time on our hands
Too much wants in our heads
Too little belief in our needs
and not enough confidence in what we've concieved
Life is superfluous
and though you may not know this
it carries on
long after you are gone..
make a final impression
get over the obsession of perfection
and live for tomorrow...
for that may be today...
overflowing without us knowing
