I am unstable and balanced
I wonder if God can really hear me
I hear my grandmother singing “Angel”
Soothing my tears in the middle of the day
I see my feelings when I’m truly intoxicated
I want to be Sleeping Beauty awaiting eternal slumber
I am unstable and balanced

I pretend everything will be okay
I feel myself slipping on silver tears
I touch heaven when I allow myself to believe again
I worry that I'll never find my King Arthur
I cry when I think I’m on the verge of getting close
I am unstable and balanced

I understand that everything doesn't have an explanation
I say I’m a big girl & I’ll just have to get over it
I dream of the past everynight
I try to push everything away
I hope that someday I’ll see purpose in this life again
I am unstable and balanced



If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

I love you

Your title is a wonderful example of your sense of humor! It certainly caught my attention!--and I also wanted to read a about you and get to know you better, Dear Kristen!

You really pulled this off in style! And remember, it is a constant battle for us all to balance our lives on the proverbial fulcrum!

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda
