It isn t that easy to stay on top

It isn't that easy to stay on top
Of what's often called a contented life.
Sometimes, it just feels like a burning stove,
Sometimes - deep dive.

One day you are struggling to stay above
The surface of that uncontested blue.
You wish you had known you had done enough,
But have no clue.

Another - on fire. And boiling blood
Suggests that the rage is your only way.
An eye for an eye, they say, tit-for-tat,
But who will pay?

You're running in circles, you're back and forth.
So busy, that there is no time to ask:
"The hell am I suffering all this for?"
Another task.
