My Search For Me

Grey are the days that past by my eyes and the nights are scary to see. A pall clouds my vision each day I awake which hinders my search for me. Blank are the stares I see each day when I look at the eyes in the glass. Reflection of the one I’m trying to save from this suffocating morass. Lost I am as I travel the road that I hope will lead me to salvation. The forks in the road are far too many and my heart pounds from palpitation. Deep into my mind do I bring my search as I desperately try to see. Yet twisted and tangled my thoughts all seem as I still keep up the search for me. In the eyes of my child I do see a glimpse of something that makes me believe, in the hope that I have something to salvage as much as my mind tries to deceive. The hands of my friends reaching for me to help though I don’t even ask, tells me that I do have my good inside and I shouldn’t take myself to task. But as much as the signs and the help I receive give me a glimpse of the person I know I be, I have so much pain and confusion in the way that it’s so very hard to find the real me.

Anthony, life is so unpredictable, and sometimes just plain mean....I have walked in those miserable shoes so many times, I lost count......then one day a light came on, if I am to be happy, it is up to me, no one else can live my life, no one else laughs at the things I do, nor cries with me. I am me, there is no we when it comes to my happiness...change what needs to be changed, and tell everyone to enjoy life....always, Christy
