The Workoholic's Dilemma
He is not incapable of love,
but, on the contrary, is too much of a lover,
feeling his responsibilities as such
and trying desperately to live up to all of them
and thus is constantly an over-worker
giving only, not receiving,
since he feels his obligation just to love
and therefore has no time for being loved.
It's at the same time clinging to maintaining the initiative
like from some fear of losing it
and not remaining in control,
and that fear is the sickly part
which keeps him in the squirrel's wheel
imprisoned in his constant and one-sided outflow
bent on voluntarily to work himself to death.
