Balancing Act

Annoyances add up so fast

That sometimes you might be aghast

When life does prolong

All the things going wrong

And your stress level can’t be surpassed.

 

For somehow when nits multiply,

Even calm people cannot deny

That each problem presents

Such a knot that prevents

Peace of mind and I’d like to know why.

 

I guess life’s a balancing act

And the odds against joy have been stacked.

If you’re happy one day

It gets taken away;

That’s a guaranteed bona fide fact.
