The Personal and The Professional




I once knew this girl.
Pretty, somewhat attractive, refreshing.
She loved to laugh. To Live. Loud.
And all she wanted from this life
Was to be happy.
Simple wish.
Happy.
Professionally. Personally.
The merger of the two.
Peaceful union.
So difficult to attain.
Of which we all aspire.
So she hoped. Prayed. Wished
On impossible things.
Waiting for that moment to come.
When she could achieve the balance.
Merger of the two.
As the years went by
She slowly realized
No matter how hard she hoped
Prayed. Wished.
On impossible things.
Of which this seemed the most impossible
She could never really achieve
This equilibrium
This attainment of balance
Was beyond her reach
She couldn't even get half
Of the whole
They both seemed to always
Slip Away
Never close to even a grip
So she hoped, Prayed. Wished
She could learn to live
In the void
Their absence created.
Until the day they'd show up
She made herself comfortable
In the void.
