What It Takes

I'm just a girl, a lone poet.. 
We are all alone in this world, don't you know it? 
Nothing is enough, we always want more.. 
Why has everything in this life become such a chore? 
We slowly throw it all away, bigger & better is 
now the common way 
It doesn't take long before we suffer..second thoughts 
always seem to hover. 
"I wish I could take it back" it was all a mistake.. 
for us to be truly happy, what will it take? 
"The grass is always greener" seems to be the thought 
but that usually isn't the case, it seems that we forgot.
