Jack 81

Tasmanian Devil like, is how my brain does behave But calm and peace are all that I crave Not seeking material riches, just want internal stillness Can be tiring intermittently fighting an invisible illness Hard sometimes when sitting down to reflect How did this happen, what did I do, what did I neglect Often wonder if the excessive drinking caused me harm Whatever the reason, the brain is unable to maintain much sense of calm Never want to be a burden, causing loved ones sadness or tension So if I get to a place of having no real comprehension When the eyes are staring but there’s nothing to see Be strong with hard decisions, is how I’d like you to be When the lights go out, forget the darkness if possible please Just smile on good memories like a warm summer breeze
