The Journey Home

As one who lived so long conflicted
Outward success often depicted
To numb the pain became addicted
Self-destruction those nearby predicted

Knowing & doing were contradicted
So deeply I became afflicted
Human connection – became restricted
To get too close meant – suffering inflicted

Outward behaviour – “fear” projected
Within myself – hatred directed
Seek help said some – but I objected
“Denial”, ego-self, protected

Through various mishaps, I had collected
That I need help – became suspected
For far too long – myself neglected
To walk a different path elected

From one who knew the walk – selected
The question, can you be – directed?
The aim that I should – become connected
Struck terror – what if I’m rejected?

Most of my life – my part deflected
Now honestly – must be inspected
Sometimes felt I was being – dissected
Once started – so much was recollected!

Simple the process – can still be expected
At times to feel – completely dejected
When I feel lost and misdirected
Of Spirit ask – course is corrected

Walls round my heart – which were erected
Fear of more pain – what they reflected
Through caring souls – I was subjected
To healing “tough love” which I respected

Continual peace – not yet perfected
Though passion for life’s been resurrected
At a place where head and heart – intersected

I discovered all – life is interconnected
