a balanced life

i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like

when i am sad

i don’t cry i pour

when i am happy

i don’t smile i glow

when i am angry

i don’t yell i burn

the good thing about 

feeling in extremes 

is when i love 

i give them wings 

but perhaps 

that isn't 

such a good thing 

cause they always 

tend to leave and 

you should see me 

when my heart is broken 

i don't grieve

i shatter
