The one with a shattered soul
even if he rebuilds himself anew
he would still feel the ache
The one who hungers for flawlessness
even if he's attained mastery
he would still perceive defects
The one who covets dominance
even if he reigns supreme
he would still sense unease
The one with a meandering mind
even if he's in a tranquil state
he would still be tempted by distraction
The one who veils his emotions
even if he's encircled by affection and faith
he would still be lonesome
The one who dreads rejection
even if he's widely accepted
he would still harbor insecurity
The one who yearns for abundance
even if he's opulent and at ease
he would still crave more
The one who seeks affirmation
even if he's confident and poised
he would still question his worth
The one with a restless heart
even if he's amidst placidity
he would still yearn for adventure
The one who longs for liberation
even if he's surrounded by safety
he would still feel confined
The one who desires fame
even if he's already acclaimed
he would still feel invisible
The one who craves dominion over others
even if he's in command of his own fate
he would still sense powerlessness
The one who pursues retribution
even if he's already vindicated
he would still be consumed by wrath
The one who seeks to evade actuality
even if he's surrounded by splendor
he would still feel detached
The one who craves perpetual entertainment
even if he's in the midst of engrossing activities
he would still feel ennui
The one who demands flawlessness in others
even if they're already exceptional
he would still discern defects to criticize
The one who seeks to be someone else
even if he's already distinctive
he would still feel inferior
The one who strives for complete control
even if he's already competent to handle what he has
he would still feel inundated
The one who insists on being right always
even if he's already sagacious and well-informed
he would still feel the urge to validate himself
The one who insists on winning always
even if he's already accomplished much
he would still feel unfulfilled
The one who insists on staying busy always
even if he's already accomplished much
he would still feel incomplete
The one who insists on being praised always
even if he's already esteemed and respected
he would still feel unappreciated
