Jamend

Why does it always have to be one or the other?

When one is good the other is bad

The second I fix one half of my life

the other sends an unexpected gut punch.

Is it me?

Am I unable to satisfy both?

Can I not balance what is important?

Why does it seem everyone else has the key?

They seem to have it all balanced.

Or is that just a curtain?

Do we all have curtains?

Do I have a curtain as well?

What is it?

Do I intentionally close it?

Or am I just misunderstood?

Is it truthful or deceiving?

Why do we have to hide behind these misauds?

Why do we care what others say?

Why do they dictate what we think?

I say no,

And I try and try and try,

To think purely, to want sincerely,

To act uninfluenced.

But is that truly possible today?

Can people really survive without people

Being backed or inspired?

At first I don’t succeed,

But I will.
