Poem

Written on February 17, 2020
By Gail DeBole

I read a quote the other day.
It said you must improve today.

I read a quote the other day.
It said to love yourself – don’t change.

Which quote was right?
Which quote was wrong?

Both made me weak.
Both made me strong.

And thus, the tug of war began.

One side of me – quite content
Was fighting all my discontent.

One side of me – quite discontent
Was fighting all my self-content.

My ego – almost split in two
Could not decide just what to do.

And thus, the tug of war continued.

Until one day, quite tired of this.
My question was, "What had I missed?"

Was there a balance I couldn’t see?
Satisfied with what I was, could I be…

A person who improved her lot
Without a tug of war so taut?

And thus, the tug of war ended.
