A Balanced Life

The concept of
A balanced life
Is a fantasy
Born of a
Discontented mind.
The thought
That some ideal
Combination
Of work and play,
Freedom
And responsibility,
Family and career,
Will magically
Stabilize me,
And prevent me
From oscillating
From one extreme
To the other
Is ludicrous,
Yet it’s a mirage
I have chased

Most of my life.
