She keep telling herself that she needed to reevaluate
Her life and purpose
As she felt most definitely off track
Or at least sidetracked
By issues that did not, in the long or even short run
Really matter
It wasn't that she was uncomfortable in her surroundings
Or even in the circumstances of her present situation
Which was what made how she felt
Strange, to say the least
How could she feel so good, so happy with
Life in general
But still feel embarrassed by actions and decisions
That were twenty, thirty years in the ever-dimming past
She wondered if any of her friends
Remembered her missteps
As clearly and completely as she did
And were as unforgiving of them as she was
She swore she was going to do whatever it would take
To get on an even keel, to rid herself of this malaise
That weighed like a two-ton anvil
Breaking her back and mind
