[452] The Road To Recovery

Make me believe in ecstasy ⁣⁣⁣⁣
I am tired of not being seen⁣⁣⁣⁣
in anything other than misery
Show me the magic you see every day⁣⁣⁣⁣
So I can see things I can’t perceive
I want to be able to want⁣⁣⁣⁣
and find a passion to burn⁣⁣⁣⁣,
a wind to blow and a storm to fall⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Rare words to fall back on⁣⁣⁣⁣
Interventions that I follow through on⁣⁣⁣⁣
Challenges that open up my mind⁣⁣⁣⁣
Relinquishing my habits of disbelief⁣⁣⁣⁣
All to discover the inertia for my superior soul⁣⁣⁣⁣
If I find it all, I’ll find it when I can learn to fall ⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’ll find it all if after falling ⁣⁣⁣⁣I find the energy
inside of me to not accept defeat and just crawl

Apologies for being AWOL, been recovering from a health problem. I will be regular again from now on and can’t wait to read all the writings I have missed.

  4. Sorry to hear you’ve been ill. Glad you’re back. Praying for your return to 100% health. Find the inertia – find the energy – get back up and run with it! I’m praying for your renewed strength. ❤
