A State of Confusion

In a state of confusion, I was confused
Pill after pill I had lost all sense of pride
In a world of seclusion, feeling the blues
Why I was so intent on committing suicide

But because I just felt so dam depressed
A continual verse, a never ending episode
Always I'd be stuck within this huge mess
Again here I am I'm stuck in reverse mode

At the time it were my only cure for this illness
But not the first, a time bomb about to explode
Losing battle with ones self, thoughts manifest
From bad to worse, I'm on a long winding road

Dealing with so much heartache and pain inside
Not what I'd again choose but my only solution
I felt it was the only way off this rollercoaster ride
With don'ts and doe’s, in this state of confusion




A POEM INSPIERD BY A FRIEND FROM COV( JULY - 1997)
written at a low point in my life between October 1997 and July 1998
some bits were rewritten between 2000 and 2001 
and again chopped and changed between 2007 and 2012
this version 2012 resalvaged ---------
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
this version i feel better than the rest as explains in better context
hw i was but also puts a positive spin on the present
i suppose your expiearces are what forms who you are as a person
thats what builds your character though probably not s wild now as I used to be
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
also the first time id ever wrote anything  where inspiration came from
surrounds at time this a little personal  or though kept a little boarder line
written by myself DAVIDSCOTT  2012''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
