BaLaNce AcCount



BaLaNce AcCount 
It really
does seem

this life 
of mine

is on 
a lay away
plan

I put down
as much
as I could

 so they
could hold
it for me

 until I figured
the riddle of 
me out 

 thought by now

 my life would 
start
making sense

 come into focus

 so I could
be

 a well adjusted

 member of the
humanity family

 but I still
lack the 
resources

 maybe I 
always will

 perhaps 
the key
to 
mental stability

 is

 accepting 
yourself

 and that

our accounts

 may never
be 

 paid in full

    So reflective, Steve. I can relate to this. Maybe sometimes our expectations exceed our realities? I don't know...life is such a mysterious thing in the end.

    You nailed it..I think we devote so much time and energy chasing this unrealistic ideal of happiness that we end up always feeling unfulfilled. The same also applies to ourselves and our personal expectations. I think the first step toward elusive happiness is accepting the shortcomings/imperfections of life and more importantly ourselves.

    Could also have a double meaning ...some debts can't ever be paid, others take more than they should, sometimes we don't know the weight of a lifetime, of another, that gave too much.

    From my gambling days of yore, I always harken back to the philosophy that we have to play the cards life deals us as best we can and HOPE the future cards of the next deal are better
