Thoughts, Dreams and Feelings

Here I am at the end of my book

I've seen many different roads, all the paths I took.

From anger to depression,selfish obsessions

Without so much a second look

How far I have come, trying to overcome addiction.

The facts, the fiction, the self-conviction.

I've heard and done so much bitchin'

I gave up on hate, I've finally learned how to love

Something I thought was unheard of.

I've made peace with the man above

Stopped trying to hide it, by being tough

So many lessons I've learned

From all those times I've been burned

How to get up and keep going on

I just knew it would all eventually make me strong

The figuring out of rights and wrongs

Are all these chapters or a bunch of different songs?

I've heard so much laughter as I've come along

Met so many people, seen a lot of disaster

My mind still races, through all the faces

Of people good and bad!

A lot of times I was so sad, the times I've missed, by staying mad!

Sometimes it was so hard being down to the last card,

Not knowing if it was an ace, or in the eyes of an empty face!

Through it all, I feel blessed and glad it all took place.

All I seen was the pictures,I just wrote the captions.

At times all I had was my inner voice

To guide me to make the wisest choice

I can say, today... I am alive and okay

Yesterday is past, this book shows the shadows its cast

Tomorrow is another day!!
