And I Found Peace!

I felt so low
I was so down
Life’s not been mean
I know I had no reason to frown,
But the feeling was just so strong
I feared I was going to drown.
There were times I sat
Stared into space like I was gone,
There were times I got under the sheets
Pretended I was deep asleep,
There were times I walked
And it was only with the keenness of the hawk
And the resolve of a wild dog
That I managed not to engage in lengthy monologue,
There were times I thought
That the world and its people
Have chosen to go on a go-slow
When it was my turn
And in a bid to solve the riddle
Have consulted Plato, Aristotle
Confucius and some such other mumbo-jumbo
Only to discover they had no cure
Nor could they offer
A functional antidote to my turmoil,
There were times I swear
I considered letting go
Just go with the flow
The extra sip or resort to the slit.
But what saved my a*s I must admit
Was one simple phrase that goes
‘Behold in the Remembrance of God
Do hearts find satisfaction’
My soul then found peace
And the turmoil just ceased.

"I considered letting go
Just go with the flow"

shows the journey you took to find peace. it was sad when you considered death. i guess when you find God you find the assurance and peace that you seek. you're a master at the rhyme scheme. that is a difficult task when also making a point. great job.
