All or Nothing

All or nothing-

It’s a choice that faces us all.

Why do I always choose

To take the fall?

Things go fine.

Then I get to thinking

And into the pit-

Deeper and deeper-I begin sinking

I dig my own grave

By leading a greedy life.

Instead of being thankful,

I cause myself strife.

By living life beyond its fullest

And taking more than what I’m dealt,

I’m left with a feeling…..

One worse than I should have felt.

Live and let live;

Just let it be.

Things will work out,

Why can’t I see?

Taking on too much

I don’t have the touch.

Unfortunately, I never thought of such,

And I choose to lose it all.
