Unsatisfied
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     I failed myself.
     I set myself up for a fall.
     I got too excited about something
     And now I'm unsatisfied with the results.
     I know I'm partly to blame
     But why does life treat me this way?
     There are two vital parts to my situation
     So how come I always end up winning only one?
     If part one is going well
     Part two will fail me
     Or vice versa.
     If my dues aren't paid yet
     How much longer must I wait?
     Must I stick with this price plan
     Or is there a way to escape?
     I still don't know how I can get away from this all
     So I'll stay sitting here.
     Not reaching a compromise
     Is the thing that I fear.
