Trying to balance
Home and School
Is like trying
To write on a wall
You’ll get holes in your paper
And the writing will be jagged
The paper’s your soul
And the writing’s how you handle it
No matter how hard you try
Your two lives will combine
School life will include
You from home
And you’ll have outbursts at home
That comes from school
‘Cause everyone’s different
At different times
And you cannot say
There’s only one you
Because you’ve got
Many different sides
And you try to balance them
But you can’t find the divide
So one life
Turns into another
And you're left wondrin’
What happened to balance?
What happened to a life
That was all planned out
That you had created
And was never in doubt
“This life will happen”
You’d thought to yourself
But now your left
Throwing that life on a shelf
Or better yet, in the garbage
Because the life you planned
You’ll never get back
So just stop tryin’ to balance
Because it’ll never happen
