Troubles

Lost and confused nowhere to run
starting a new life here its begun,
going no were lost in the mind 
empty completely black 
not unconfined,
trying to make sense of the pieces
as i go day by day the images keep increasing, 
trying to let go and start from scratch 
but it feels like i'm fighting my demons 
i need an escape hatch,
reminiscing of the trauma 
nightmares that creep 
keep me awake at night 
as i fall fast asleep, 
watching my eyes as i gaze at the mirror 
i cant seem to think its not much clearer 
facing the truth of all reality 
knowing he's gone deep in mortality 
recovering takes time 
and i'm almost their
only think positive 
i hope you take care 
thank you for reading 
a little of my life
i'm stronger then ever
thanks to my wife.
to my twin and I
