How much is too much?

And who is gonna answer it?

With every day that passes by,
you ask yourself a question,
in one way, or the other
struggling to understand,
one single thing
How much is too much?

When you were a kid,
and had a craving for chocolates,
parents never stopped you.
Yes, warnings did come by,
but in the end,
it was you to decide,
How much is too much?

Growing a bit old,
you reached college.
Breaking the norms of the society.
There was an urge to be a rebel,
A rebel for no reason!
You did everything,
Almost, everything.
Yet your conscious didn’t die.
There was a constant voice from within,
which frequently asked you,
How much is too much?

Then you got into love,
probably for the first time.
You loved her/him a lot; didn’t you?
Trust, you thought was the key
to this successful relationship.
But when your heart shattered;
sitting in the corner of the room,
a bit unhappy, yet relieved
that you gave in your best,
and trusted the other soul.
And then you realized,
probably you should have asked yourself,
a bit early…
How much is too much?

Your work life was going awesome,
and your office was super cool.
They had that freedom of expression,
and multiple other things.
But then slowly you realized,
your ethics were getting challenged,
and morals sidelined.
No, you weren’t wrong,
and probably, the others too.
Priorities weren’t too different;
so were the goals.
Yet, you saw things coming.
Things that were wrong,
or unacceptable to your conscience.
Felt bad about it;
weirdly odd rather.
And you kept asking yourself the question,
How much is too much?

No there is no wrong,
no there is no right either.
People aren’t good or bad,
Characteristics and situations are.
Its not about stamping people,
as good or bad.
But understanding and answering,
in every situation you come by,
How much is too much?

Running after that pile of money,
you left behind your home,
your family,
ruined your weekends.
Modified your passion,
to match with your job.
Missed those lovely moments
you could have cherished with your friends,
or your life partner.
Weeks after weeks,
before going to bed,
you kept on asking yourself,
the same old question,
How much is too much?

WAKE UP!

What are you waiting for?

Down the line,
after a decade or two,
you would have already lost the moments,
The people you cherished,
The people who made you.
The values which shaped your personality.

Life, time and soul,
would have no repair time.

So,
don’t let the world decide
your fate
your morals,
your personality,
your life!

Never lose yourself!

And remember,
next time when the question comes up,
it's you to answer…

How Much is TOO MUCH?

And the time is now!
