Pause

In the quest to reach new heights, I often lose my way
Obsessed with striving for success, neglecting rest each day
The pressure mounts, it's overwhelming, I admit it's true
Forgetting to be kind to myself, I know not what to do

In the chaos of my restless mind, I'm pulled in every way
Unsure of what I truly want, where my desires may sway
Sometimes I make decisions, not for me, but to appease
Ignoring my own inner voice, my longing for some ease

But in this tumultuous journey, I must find the strength to pause
To keep from losing who I am, adhere to my own laws
For if I lose my essence in the midst of this grand chase
No amount of worldly success will fill the empty space

In the whirlwind of my journey, I'll pause and breathe it in
Embrace the stillness deep within, where my soul begins to spin
I'll cherish my own purpose, find the balance I must know
In self-acceptance and clarity, my true success will glow
