Balancing Life

Life is like a pendulum scale 

Trying to find an equilibrium of balance

From making crucial life decisions to pleasure

With one tale higher than the other. 

We overwork ourselves

For fulfilment it gives 

Leaving us in a pleasant mood

Yet it can be tiresome. 

Time is ever-flowing

Each decision you make counts

It can be overwhelming 

When you want to do everything 

Even so there is only one of you. 

An equilibrium scale does not exist

For one side would outweigh the other

You must make sacrifices 

From making a living or having fun. 

Life

Life can be stagnant at times 

Going through the same groove

Thinking each day can be different

Yet the results stayed the same. 

Leaving you burnt out

Longing for something new to sprout

Where your self-doubt kicks in

Despite that you remain resilient throughout this process. 

We can make changes in our routine

To make each day worth it

After all we are not a machine 

For we have control over our behavior and sentiment. 

Difficulty of breaking old habits 

Due to the comfort of our old routines

Therefore forming new ways can be frightening 

Even so it can be rewarding

When you can push for change.
