no, just a little lost.
a call for attention
helter-skelter,
off the boat

no, you don't get better in a day.
but you do see a little clearer,
as much as i hoped loyalty
to a thought or idea would
change something crucial,

I thought this,
i thought that,
i thought wrong

i was never the opposite
no, not a day, but minute by minute
and I am sorry that I never made
that clear, that I have the tiniest
amount of faith but enough to
know that i can be healed
and have no scars


not a day. minute by minute.
I was never the opposite, just
reaching through the brambles
of something much
larger than this.
(c) Brooke 2017


"now you're doing the opposite" something that has been bothering me this morning. I was angry at first about it but I know myself better.
