Terms Of Self Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life is filled with curiosity and wonder for the world around us, yet we like to think in terms of self and what we can accomplish on our own.
Self-esteem and ego go hand-in-hand throughout life, yet somehow we reach others along our journeys, who, like us, are looking for answers to life - meanings we can grasp with our minds and use to try and understand ourselves.
In doing so, we forget our spirits need nurturing also, and outside forces stress us in terms we'd prefer to ignore or delete.
In the end we are no closer to finding what we desire, and we learn to content ourselves with what we have.
