A Play On Restlessness

It’s something we all long for
It is something we’re never happy with
Standing still brings peace
But for many
This could never be
We are restless children
Born to be on the go
Unhappy in silence
Frightful in stillness
We are constantly moving
Forever chasing dreams
Never cemented to just one spot
We can have peace
But only for a second
Then it’s gone
Then it’s lost
In the restlessness
That harbors’ in each of us
Not bad
If we control it
If we embrace it just right;
We are beautiful
In our restless nature
Because we’re striving,
Were working,
To be something,
To create,
To build,
To dream,
And this restlessness
Is a person’s desire
To achieve their goals
To feel so human
To feel so alive
Its accomplishments astound
It gives us reason to be
It gives us reason to breathe
We are ever so worthy-
In its presence,
Without it,
Were lost
Without it,
We would not be so human
