Split Sides

Hubris

It's difficult as it is

Having to get up and go

But imagine if there's nothing

Pushing you to get out there

Wouldn't that be nice?

To just be a layman

Sit around and do what you want.

To not be forced to do it

Whether you want to or not.

And to have a routine

That tells you what to do.

You can be lazy because you want to be

And because nobody is stopping you.

To imagine worlds of your own

And play them as you see fit.

To eat and sleep and just do

Whatever you want to do

Because you can.

Isn't it nice?

But isn't it also tiring?

To have nothing stopping you

Or someone you need to prove wrong.

To have a routine you can live with

Because it keeps you on your orbit.

To have someone telling you what to do

So you won't be lost.

And because without it

You won't know what's next.

Too much of something is bad enough

As the elders say.

Freedom is a beautiful thing

But having too much of it?

It's dangerous and debilitating.
