#WritcoPoemPrompt112

With everything that life has to offer,
There's so much to be enjoyed,
But the pleasures of sleeplessness I suffer,
Is the one I cannot avoid.

It pulls me left and right,
A lot of sights and sounds.
A lot of places to distract my mind,
Soon i may loose sight of my path.

Focus is very hard to find,
In a world where the god is the dollar,
Now a whole lot that offers more joy, ignored;
All in the pursuit of a bank account figure.

It makes me almost loose track
Of some things more worthwhile than money.
I would rather live simply
Because life is simple.

And i would rather die leaving behind
Something much more precious
Than overrated money.
Because it really is the peak of vanity.
