Thinking clear
Blood red thoughts blue
I’m broken how about you
Memories of lost time running through my mind
there’s answers here I just cannot find
explanations of past situations
Answers I’ll find if I work on my concentration
If I focus maybe I’ll understand why
when I figure it out there’ll be no more need to cry
No more sitting up late sobbing wanting to die
no more will the words I’m doing fine be a lie
recovery is possible I just need to really try
the finish lines in sight I need to fight my fear
for the first time in years I’m thinking clear

Beautifully said self discovery can lead you on a dangerous path. It is hard to know what you truly want so we keep on trying to find it. The more we go without it the worse we feel, and the worse we feel makes it harder to find. No one knows who they truly are. We all have our demons. But outside voices change our minds and we keep falling. Only way to go back up is you. You are your own hope. People can help but you have to believe. Time is slow and can be painful. Sometimes you just want it to end. I think the beauty of this is that even in darkness there is light. It can be hard to find but someday you will find it.

I would be thrilled if you would send an audio reading of this to the site's podcast, The Poetcast Project. I think people would benefit from hearing this and the feature may draw interest to your writing on site. If you would be interested, please send an mp3 or mp4, including your screen name and the poem's title, to:

Member participation is the life's blood of the podcast, so I hope you will consider it.
