Getting The Balance, Right

Blending the past with the present, for the future.

Hello

Is anybody home

Question that bounces around

My closing down mind.

 

As I stand

Like a deer caught

In a truck's headlights

With nowhere to go.

 

Every mental change

Is broadcasted

Across my face

For all to see.

 

Opening up

Another world

And reality

Populated by one

Me.

 

Where the simplest thing

Becomes the hardest goal

To achieve.

 

Trying to balance

My past pain

With the need

For growth

And healing.

 

Real change occurs

Where the past

And the present

Blend together

In equal parts

To give us

The future.

 

Thus

Able to face

My traumatic past

One event

At a time

In healing

Myself.
