Justification?

Justification?

My life, right now

is all mixed up,

anxiety, trouble,

I think I might have,

had enough —

But am I one to run

when things start to get rough?

..

Decisions, decisions

feelings of guilt up against

my intuition–

blurring the lines

between what’s wrong

and what’s right,

to clip my wings

or prepare to take flight?

Once a vagabond

today, afraid of change —

Once full of adventure,

a sense drugs and love seem to tame,

a sense drugs and love take away,

and yet for the both I stay…

….

The highs were high,

the lows, lower than low —

do I stick around,

stay?

or has the time come to go?

…..

What I need’s

to take the time,

to clear my mind,

consider all angles,

detoxify

from all the drugs

and all the lies,

and I’m pretty sure,

that I’ll be fine.

Surely this move is justified,

the best I can do, is what I find right.

…..
