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
