Balance

Finding a balance between purpose and pleasure

is often a difficult task,

‘cause for many the two become one and the same

so division between them fades fast.

When purpose overrides; the drive and the stress

may wreak havoc and cause self-decay

leaving family and friends abandoned and hurt

and meaningful connections pushed away.

But if pleasure prevails, and purpose ignored,

life may become shallow and dark.

An unfulfilled self is open to endure

an existence that’s hollow and stark.

As your journey continues, keep balance in mind.

Help pleasure and purpose remain two.

If they both share your life, when one is engaged,

the other can rest and renew.
