Inconsequential

Inconsequential

by Joel Howard

What is important? 

What is significant? 

What's consequential? 

What makes a difference? 

Must I do more to matter? 

Do I have to perform to be better? 

Should I be uncomfortable as I am? 

In my own skin? 

I have been trained to lack

To want more than I have

I'm confused about the way

I am made

I want more, then I want more

Then I want, yes, even more

I will never have enough

There's a gap in me for love
