Accepting Myself

Judgements of deception plagued my mind, Following an artificial shadow with no hope. Having problems from cognitive growth, Learning was considered a form of witchcraft. No intentions of committing remorseful acts, Yet sinned horribly with clouded viewpoints. Jinxed by the demons of mental illnesses, Leading to the wicked curse of addiction. Due to the unpreparedness at the legal age, The real world ate me alive during adulthood. Climbing an uphill battle to conquer problems, The first step needed to start with exploration. Reaching the highest mountains to find potential, Recognizing my personality through discovery. Acceptance from pure identity led to happiness, Now traveling a path of my own choosing.

Hi Michael, Great Poem in so many ways... Technically: For me word choice excellent, easy to read/recite with well balanced verses... Content: Your ability to express innermost emotional thoughts and self identifying statements would be envied by most. The Tags you have used are all so appropriate. Anyone who is questioning their own doubts should take heed. Thanks for sharing... Rod

Great writing. Glad to see you appear to be in a much better place after much self discovery! No shame in falling down in life; the measure of a person is determined by one's response to those prior shortcomings. You have responded well.
