RETURN FROM THE DARK SIDE

Feeling alone……
Being homeless in your mind,
Is not the same as Actual homelessness,
It’s worse, it’s a kind,
Of, hopelessness…There’s a hole,
A hole in your soul,
Of which you are at the bottom of,
And it’s blacker than coal!
You can’t see the light,
Have no strength,
Acceptance of the fact,
Makes you unable or unwilling to fight.
To break the vicious circle,
The seeming perfect ring,
That my friend, is the thing!
It doesn’t matter what you are, or who,
It’s the only….The most crucial…
Repeat, the Only thing to do.
This, is not advice,
Being an interfering do-gooder,
That’s not my vice.
I think it is in everyone’s grasp….
To choose….
To choose at some time….
And that time Will come...
To leave the losing,
Change to winning.
Time to remember, fate….
Never beckons…
At a time of our own choosing!
Now is the time, to find a belonging,
Take your experience of the dark side,
To relate as I have,
To those, that for darkness have a longing,
Stand in the light and no longer hide,
Re-discover your sense of long lost pride!
Regardless of what others might say…
Seize this dawn….It’s Yours…
This…..
Is YOUR day!
