Facing The Past, Winning the Future

Sometimes a stone unturned
Is better off that way
The sludge and turmoil
Of mistakes gone by

running through my debris field
as I drive on by I avoid this mess
Do I suppress, or will I compress
my bad choices of self destruction

Trying to let it all go
never to forget but to remind myself
the path of destruction I left behind
has never truly escaped my mind

I can look back and forget where I am
I can move forward and never look back
I can fool myself into thinking that neither will occur
A fool am I for suggesting I'm OK

Tell tale signs of weariness
Foggy eyes and dreariness
I Stand by myself in disappointment
Day by day I try to grow

A heartfelt search and cleansing thought
To feel the pains and have no patience
For the pains to diminish and go away
Living is learning and finding my way

I pressure myself to be the rock
The strength and reassurance to know I'm not
any good to anybody til I right my own ship
That life has given me an I.V. drip

Slowly I work towards a peaceful end
Look beyond my weakest traits
Where is the finish line to my personal race
To win my life every single day
