I Try

[Dani]

'I took a step to the river but it was too dark and deep,

tried to climb up the mountain but it was always too steep.

I try to wake up every morning and resist the urge to cry...

and although it is a battle..i try..yes i try.

I smile and move forward..i stop and i think,

i try to keep myself safe..i dont want to reach for that drink.

pushing him so far out of my mind i can't see...

i try to forget everything he did to me.

Yes i am stronger...but sometimes i feel weak..

just want someone to hold me at the times i can't speak.

so i'll try for the doorway that once was too far..

hoping their lies happiness...and hopefully there you are.'

thank you for that, it was touching

I am the black sheep in the herd.

A plague within the race of man.

An empty vessel that only hurts.

A corrupted soul full of sin.

No one gives a damn about my pain;

no one can see the loneliness inside.

All I can do is stand in the rain,

waiting for someone to come by my side.

Very nicely put, I see it as recovery or management of day to day life is about baby steps, the tiny little decisions we make minute by minute. The mountain is big, scary, and looks impossible to climb, but with careful baby steps and enough time, you may find one day your at the top, living what you seek. Good luck and take a packed lunch; )
