Jay O'Neal Poet Rhyme

I Found You Today

I found you today.
Lost.
Lonely,
stuck inside your head.
Headed for self destruction
your emotions askew.
Thoughts so vivid,
their in constant review.
Painful memories
that are torching your mind.
My goal,
to ease them in time.

Emotional triggers
Like a loaded gun,
the hammer pulled back,
Bang your done!
They are all the same
for me,
admittedly no fun.

Please come back
up to the surface.
Take a deep breath.
Breathe in my love for you.
You can’t let them win,
when you know everyday
you must bargain
for a higher understanding
of humanity.

Brutal!
Cruel!
Narcissism,
it runs deeper
then just surface reflections
on the faces of others.
Come on,
pull yourself from under these covers.
Lets move around.
Will find away to shut them down .
