At Last
At Last
09/08/2018
Old thoughts in my mind
Found it hard to be kind
Undeserving, unnerving
Unwilling to unwind
So positivity blind,
To myself unkind
Defeatist, hedonist
True pleasure find
Searching for moderation
Full of resignation
Obsessive, compulsive
Unsure of destination
Questioning my commitment
Thought I’d be committed
Irrational, delusional
Suicide attempt committed
Sanity a soul search
Don’t snuff out my torch
Hopeful, loathful
Alone in the lurch
Reaching down deep
Ruminating can’t sleep
Deception, reflection
Decide to take the leap
Hard to ask for help
Though willing in self
Castigated, Motivated
Bereft of my health
Detox, rehab the help I need
Drugs, my mind and body plead
Addiction, affliction
A hunger, greed a need I feed
Clean of mind and thought
New thinking I’m taught
Sobriquet, Sobriety
Balance in life sought
Do it for self
For no one else
Dedicate, unmedicate
True wealth in health
Physical, mental, health balance
Self love forgiveness, all encompass
Spiritual, physical
True to self at last
