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.
