Poem Title:
Poem
We all have a past, the place we come from All housing regrets and things we should've done Our lives we've lived, some better that others And have had along the way both triumphs and shutters My tale of woe is mine and mine alone Just as you are the sole keeper of your own Addiction, Abuse, Illness or Self-Destruction Grief or Longing, Loss of Faith or Repercussion The ways that the world decides to come at us Matter very little when in yourself you learn to trust There are the strong who make their way out Without hesitation and without any doubts But the strongest are those who suffer the most And fight for tomorrow still with a future unknown Rock Bottome hit the hardest not by circumstance But by the impacts of state-of-mind and what it left in my hands The bad situation had nothing on that The places my mind wandered and where my heart was at So if state-of-mind was going to be my undoing Then of course to turn it would mean my own life I'd be saving My Rock Bottom came in the form of a lost soul The turn around coming as finding something to grab hold The future! A better and brighter life! was my beacon in the night For myself and my children and of course to spite All the negativity, all the wrongs of the past To show the world I was here for a reason and to grow happiness that'd last And so I came out of it on the other side Sticking it to Rock Bottom with a new and improved STATE-OF-MIND!!!
