Keeping Life In Balance

One's life can be so full
with various kinds of extreme
makes one so lopped sided
not seeking as one does seem

When you want to hold yourself
in a state of extreme fallenness
going from one end of spectrum
to the other fulfilling your barrenness

Such an up and down life cycle
removes any balance you may attain
by pushing your mind about to burst
makes one think you could be insane

This shows the importance to find balance
proving that maturity is your key
to be living holding all things equal
so your eyes can ever so plainly see

Once you've found key to balance
so important you hold this vital thing
life with balance so satisfying
this gift a present to many may bring
