Up and Down

Too serious, too giddy.

Trying to take control too much, not taking charge enough.

Being too strict, being too lenient.

Not seeing enough, seeing too much.

Too gentle, too firm.

Too much of one, then too little of the same.

Where does the line go, and how do you find it, and how do you keep it too?

You see one thing, they see another. Which one is right and how can you know?

You can do everything you possibly can, but is it ever enough?

Is an explanation ever going to be heard? Or can you never talk again?

Do you have the right to defend yourself? Do you really have the right to, to anyone?

Every time something happens, you’ve got to change. You change one direction or another. But either direction you change, you’ve got to then change back because you’re doing it wrong again. Is there a center area anywhere where you can actually do it right?

Is it even possible to please?  Or ever get this right?
