Poetic Dan

I sit by me again offering a hand

I have all you could wish for, like living a dream

 

A partner that has so much love, children that understand me

 

Yet I continue to feel unloved and it\'s not by them

 

So it must be still, something that sits within me

 

Driving alone to pick up the kids, listening to techno beats

 

My tears erupted as the first lines hit, then ran a few times

 

Was this actually a wish or dream, I have inside

 

It\'s not what is rooted and was making me cry

 

This came from that true wish that I just wanted to die

 

So I will write to this dark past, to give light from the future

 

Now sharing in the present to help us find balance

 

Asking for guidance to have the ability to change

 

For the only thing left is to go back to go forward

 

Remembering that to live is a wonderful achievement

 

Not just to throw away or let the drugs hide the feelings again & again

 

Nothing feels right but everything is okay, as I sit beside me again & again

 

Ready to face the shadow that can not cope, knowing somehow we give others hope

 

Yet when it comes to our soul we haven\'t listened once, each time that pattern repeats we let it go on

 

For me to truly become the observer, I must let go of what has never been willing done.

 

Now I\'m writing to see if I can accept my own challenge, but I ask to feel no shame whatever happens.
