Unfulfillment

To fulfill is more than to complete or finish a task or obligation

To fulfill, I believe, implies to carry out and succeed at said task or order

To do so with conviction, pride and vigor

Fulfillment requires more

You can complete paperwork, a home improvement project, a cardio workout

But you fulfill a job position, your desires, your destiny

When you do so, it’s done with intent and intensity, with power and purpose

On purpose with prowess

Fulfillment is an abstract entity humans seek throughout their lives.

In their hobbies, relationships, careers, faith and more.

Fulfillment offers a lightness, a type of pure satisfaction within one’s self

It’s intangible and yet, you can feel it

Fulfillment has a warmth that wraps you up and whispers, “You did it.”

But you didn’t, so you feel a profound sense of unfulfillment

It grips you tight and rips you open, bare

Unfulfillment leaves you with uncertainty and bitterness

Unfulfillment gets in your heart, it stains the soul

These sentiments bring out doubt, apathy and stagnation

Unfulfillment of a task or obligation can be disappointing

Such unfulfillment can even be disheartening

Knowing you did not carry out and succeed at manifesting your destiny, becoming your best self, or any God given role is downright dismal

To know you were required or appointed to produce, protect or provide in someway, somehow

And all you did was wish, wonder, walk away and break promises

That is a missed opportunity

That is unfulfillment
