The 'I Want' Dance

I learned the ‘I want’ early on
There was never enough
Of the things a child desires
More ice cream please, more soda
More play time, more money
I got a little older and still knew the I want dance
More freedom, more allowance
More music, more clothes
Why can’t I have more
Everyone else does
The next step was more complicated
Maybe by age, maybe by the times
I wanted more love, more passion
More excitement, more romance, more sex
Didn’t matter how much I had
I just knew there had to be more
The next phase of this dance
Is pretty easy to follow
I want more vacation time, more seniority
More benefits, more retirement
More quality time with the family
But it’s still spelled more
I’ve reached the finale of this song and dance
I’ve had enough of just about everything
That life has had to offer
I’ve had my fill of it all thank you
Now I just want more….
time

I can relate. I'm at the saturation point where acquiring things doesn't mean anything. I think we "want" to try and fill up something empty inside of us. Very good write.
