EQUATION

We balance that
which we think we need
though our judgment oft impaired
whether pertaining to
our emotional or physical need
we tend to overcompensate
or underrate just what it is
we really need with
what we think we want.

This imbalance our
lives does affect
for the scales of balance
are thus often upset
causing us to react in ways strange
to try to compensate to once more
set the balance straight,
yet, more often than not
we fail in our quest
to take the proper measures
that would correct
those self inflicted ways
which set in motion
our negative results
causing our mental equation,
thus our balance,
to completely unfold.
