When I am left alone

With my thoughts,

After a day full of adventure and promise,

Why do I start to wonder

If I am doing enough?

 

I start feeling empty

Late at night in bed

When there is no more work to be done,

No more adventures to be had,

Only constant nagging in my head.

 

I feel like I’m not doing enough

But the stress of staying busy

Every second of my life

So I’m not left alone

With the thoughts I try to hide.

 

But I know

That I will start thinking

Of all that is wrong

All I can’t control

If I stop and do nothing.

 

Life is all about balance

And finding compromise,

Somewhere in the middle

Of doing nothing

And doing it all.

 

When I am left alone

With my thoughts

After a day full of adventure and promise,

I can’t help but start to wonder,

Too much? Or not enough.
