David Scott Poet Rhyme

A StAte Of CoNfUsIoN

Is contetment merly an illusion
Something which l will never obtain
Still l am trying to find some solusion
To what l feel the heartache and pain

If l could come to any such conclusion
Seems like l am forever racking my brain
Just to have some feelings of absolusion
Though still admist thy emotional strain

 Clairty hampered by meaningless intrusion
At these times not always so easy to retain
When ever l am in this state of confusion
My thoughts now like a run away train




2020 1997 originaly written part one of two a state of mind 2004

CayCay Godwin August 3, 2026 at 3:48 AM I feel you. Therapy write (willing to be wrong), love the authenticity ink in them and have ached my share of those poems (not over yet.) So, too, have I spent time in contentment seasons and have equally inked appreciation over how freeing and powerful it feels. I'd take contentment over money and that IS MY TRUTH. Your imagery is strong. You composed this quite well. Be golden, CayCay David Scott August 3, 2026 at 10:48 PM Thankyou your kind words yes to be content in ones self over anything else xx
