Redux
Originally published on I Write Her 5/24/18, presented here with revisions.
i’m simultaneously surrounded
by the good i enjoy
and all that i despise
life is a constant shifting of emotions
to achieve balance between distaste and harmony
looking for homeostasis
i hope i manage it
it gets difficult some days
at times, yin yang forces me
beyond my capabilities of juggling
then i struggle to keep both sides
from crashing into me
help!

From the “critics” corner (😎) — I would have left off the last word (“help!”). Eliminating it lets the reader identify with your experience … IMO.
Other than that … I liked it! 😍
