January 2007
Is it me, or others, I wish to please?
Do I know what I want? What can I gain?
I ask, is the juice really worth the squeeze?
Do my choices portray only my glees?
Are my goals my goals, or do others reign?
Is it me, or others, I wish to please?
The quest for triumph brings me to my knees,
Almost too often, efforts seem in vain,
I ask, is the juice really worth the squeeze?
Father, teacher, so many to appease,
All forces around me yank on the chain,
Is it me, or others, I wish to please?
The many attempts now seem just a tease,
Failures in private and public bring pain,
I ask, is the juice really worth the squeeze?
I see the door to success, but no keys,
Can someone give a hand, I stand in rain,
Is it me, or others, I wish to please?
I ask, is the juice really worth the squeeze?
