Perhaps

if you're rotting on the inside out
perhaps you are using too much fertilizer

if you're too worried about what they will see
perhaps you are not wearing the right glasses

if you're running so fast to beat the competition
perhaps you are using too much energy

if you're climbing to the top so fast
perhaps you aren't using enough discretion

if you're dieting to fix the way you are
perhaps you are using too much hurt

if you're fixating on your looks
perhaps you aren't glancing in the right mirror

if you're scrambling to keep up with the Joneses
perhaps you are using too much butter

if you're feeling rather empty
perhaps you're you are eating the wrong food

if you're being second-guessed
perhaps you aren't being clear enough

if you're starting to feel the pain of being lonely now
perhaps you forgot to stop along the way

if you're having trouble driving to the other side
perhaps you burnt the bridge you were supposed to cross.
