PAIN OR GAIN FINDING SOMEONE TO BLAME
If you drink away the pain who is to gain except for the man that owns the liquor store
Never a planned event ,would you living your own life differently been a step to prevent
Inward feelings festered ,drawn into a stoic cluster,hidden but outwardly you seek more
Saving face is now standard fare ,you seeing yourself as right no matter how the discussion went
Not planning for a future or stopping to nurture ,grasping reality quickly becoming a bore
Others looking inward while you are busy blocking ,never realizing the energy you've spent
What will it take for an inward soul to awake,simple expressions are waiting for you to explore
Inward accusations, self examinations make dangerous bedfellows,slow torture in waiting to repent
We rarely read our own message,not seeing the good while focused on bad, the deficits are easiest to underscore
Time is the true tester not leaving old wounds to fester,truly needing to solve from which branch those feeling originally stemmed
Starting with need ,knowing it's not greed to reach out or ask for help upon which we can feed ,no shame in simply wanting an overhaul
Rather than seeing others or the world at fault it has become time for us to lay it on the line ,that our own heart is now the strongest thing in which we can depend. R.C.

Although i have lived this,not sure where this came from ,maybe from thoughts stirred from a poem about addiction I read yesterday. Not necessarily applicable to just that ,the freedom that honesty with myself has given me has been strenght ,if I can pass that on or share it seems a double bonus. also maybe from thinking of my teenage daughters naivete & just simply my own survival has taught me in hindsight.
