Discarding the messy bits

About controlling myself after a good few years of drug abuse

I held close my negativity
Then let it float off down the stream

There's already rain
No need for tears

Not ashamed to be tame
I cast off my fears

I had turned to find myself years deep in a hole
Eyes down cast, merely playing a role

I said

"Time to come out of the fog
You've been locked in one place,
spinning like a cog"

"There's no point crossing arms,
feet concrete and stubborn"

"If everything stays the same, all your pain will be for nothing"

I don't have any formal poetry education, so any help is welcome

A very good poem. You had a very good rhyming pattern until 'There's no point crossing arms,' I don't know if you're poem was suppose to rhyme 'till the end. If it is, arms, stubborn and nothing doesn't match with your rhyming pattern. If you have a little more of poetry experience, you'll make a good poet.

Thank you! Yes I didn't realise when I started writing poetry how many rules and styles there are, I've only been on this site a week and I'm addicted now. I get better with every comment. Domo arigoto!
