Recovery/Help

My disease

I needed a moment
To sit and reflect
On this life Ive been living
And my lack of self respect
I'm all about giving
But tend to lose sight of my direction
Usually when communication lacks
I'm able to do the most reflecting
Looking further into myself
Digging deeper trying to find answers
Looking for the way out, help!
This has brought me down like a cancer
I need to be that advancer
Who knows how to put up a fight
Not willing to give up at the lack of sight
For what I want isn't always in my reach
I know today that through my writing I am able to teach...
Teach myself how to cope but also someone else
Possibly understanding my words and having the strength to ask for help
It's been a struggle
But I wouldn't change a thing
A few years ago my life wasn't something I was living
I wasn't able to be giving
And that's an accomplishment in itself
Never was one able to ask for help.

To me, this is the perfect way to make an offering about your own life, in the hopes it might help another in a similar situation. Sometimes writers are too full of themselves, thinking they figured it all out & they get preachy with their advice. What makes your message so palatable is the way you are modest about what you’ve gone thru, what you’ve learned, & how helpful it might be for others. You offer these things, but with a measured tone of self-awareness. The perfect balance when it comes to sharing one’s personal journey as inspiration (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
