balance
calling it a poem…
leaning then falling,
wavering to and fro,
now high then low
left then right, i wander
from one extreme to another
out of rhythm and out of space
from too little to too much,
i try and fail.
unbalanced i’ve become.
unbalanced i’ve always been.
this feeling i know,
oh too well do i know…
unbalance i know…
i’m not where i need to be
are you the why, unbalance?
the why, the reason
the reason i flail,
flail like a desperate child
lost in this unbalance i know
is me and me alone to blame
from too little to too much,
i try and fail.
unbalanced i’ve become.
unbalanced i’ve always been.
this feeling i know,
oh too well do i know…
unbalance i know…
oh Lord, give me balance
oh Lord, oh Lord i ask
i cry to live,
to live in Your way
balanced and true
only for You

i like this one more than your past poems.
you’re getting better at writing.
keep it up.
and yes,
balance is very important.
it’s also very hard to attain.
even harder to retain.
keep up the self-examination.
it’s good to do that.
