In the labyrinth of my mind, I reflect on my life thus far. Not only a reflection of my thoughts and feelings, but a soul searching. Totally wrapped in my contemplation, I have fallen inward. Reality is slipping away and I am buried in the pondering of my life. On examination it surely has been a tangled path that I have travelled. Seeking my reason for existence, I am immersed in a whirlwind. Preoccupied, I dwell in a meditative trance brooding and musing. Examining one's life is painful and the answers not always easy to accept. Coming to terms with the past is a tearful journey back in time. To look inside one self takes courage and truthfulness. In me are many feelings long buried that are screaming to be revealed. On my bed, I lay weeping and lost it seems in scenes I want to push away. No, it is not easy to retreat into one's mind for introspection and absolution. ________________________________ June 23, 2016 Poetry/Acrostic/INTROSPECTION Copyright Protected, ID 16-803-695-0 All Rights Reserved.

I do not do it much, Constance. It's just not in my nature to be sitting around meditating. My poem is like the opposite of yours. It's amazing we are such good friends! Anyway, that said, THIS is AWESOME poetry!!

What's amazing to me is as I read this I sense the real need for introspection in a few areas within! Sometimes we read something that touches that aspect of ourselves and this write is that thing for me! The best to you in this contest but thank you for writing this!
