Wanting

Stuff
Things
Such a broad term for such a specific thing
Stuff is the black cat that reminds you of Halloween sitting on your window
Stuff is the blue pen sitting at your desk stark against the brown wood
Stuff is the blood red nail polish in the bathroom
Stuff is the dried flowers hanging in your neighbor’s lawn
Stuff is the old tea bags in the mug that has long since lost its warmth
Stuff is the white pillow sitting on the white bed that hasn’t been slept in for years
Stuff is anything and everything
Stuff is something we all take for granted
Because
We always want more
Always think that we need more
We all give in to wanting until
There is no more stuff
Nothing that you own because you wanted too much
And threw away everything that you owned
You threw away everything that you are
And you have to find yourself again
To finally remember to stop wanting
