Often / Often

All too often I feel:
    Threatened.
    Lonely.
    Stressed.
    Afraid.
 
All too often
    I hate my life
    Because I lack a boyfriend.
 
Never often enough do I feel:
    Centered and balanced.
    Contented.
    Satisfied.
    At peace.
 
Never often enough
    Am I open and at home
       with myself.
       with someone else.
