One More Medicated Peacfull Moment

One More Medicated Peaceful Moment


If I could look in the mirror and like what I see,
There would be no more criticism or picking apart everything that’s good about me.
I’m feeling stronger at this moment,
Hoping that it lasts, I’m feeling more confident.
Trying my best to look at things positively,
But it’s a fight ill be fighting indefinitely.
I can’t change my genes or go back and re-do my childhood.
All I can do is try to re-shape my crooked path always remembering how important it is to 
be me and remember to laugh.
If I could go back and change things,
I’m not sure if I would.
Because all of this bad helped me become something incredibly good.
I have problems like most everybody has,
But at least i'm learning.
And not running from my past.

Really nice message. Like it. Fav line: “I can’t change my genes or go back and re-do my childhood.” Wonder how the poem would sound if written as a prose?

Hi Lia Excellent writing straight from your beautiful heart. I love how in touch you are to your feelings, emotions here. Like Raul I love the last two lines. Our memories all serve to make us who we are and that is a precious, beautiful thing. Take care sweet. Love Light Truth Patricia
