Searching for self

When removed from the known, after a while,
when the excitement of the new subsides,
Does one reflect back on what was,
and what could have been if different options were taken
all of it wasted effort and energy.

How do we rid ourselves of the constant calling
that we should be busy, doing something else or worth while,
Why do we allow our lives to be robbed from us?
We are afraid of our own happiness
because we know it is impossible to maintain it.

What do I fear?
I fear a life with no meaning
A wasted effort on oneself when in fact
you should be busy meaning something to someone else
it does not mean my needs are unimportant
it means doing what you love to serve others.

You should not be afraid to accept payment for your services
it just needs to be a fair exchange of energy
