Notes About The Poem

A poem written at the point of no return in my life Nov 15 2015  and posted then, under the original title CRISIS.

A Point of No Return

Words,words,how are you?
how do you feel
Emotions on the brink,
overflow,cascade in a stream
of tears.
How can mere words describe
how I feel?
So many symptoms exist,
jostle ,'neath this over whelming
sense of otherness, here, yes
listening,hearing but not living!
Zombie -like I struggled on.
This crisis confronts me head on,
confronts the risk ,adjuvant
posed against its supposed virtue.

Clarity!

Enough is enough,live now,drug
free,let chance ,let faith set sail
let me just be , me
