The circle

The circle must remain broken
Past mistakes shall go unspoken
Toward my future, headlong I fly
Without the ones I thought would try
To dream, design, to build and share
The joy and sweat of this affair

Now I sit and ponder fate
Afraid, unsure I hesitate
My words have left such bitter taste
In ones whose trust my dream was based
A fault of mind, a trait unchecked
Half my life did not detect

Now all my chips are in the pot
I soon shall know what is my lot
I soon shall know if some forgive
I soon shall know if dreams will live

Without a rudder, steered my course
Drifting 'round with little force
Around safe harbor I would stay
The greatest sailor I'd portray
In circles bobbed upon little swells
Telling all my epic tales

The dawn now touches dark horizon
Through gloom I see rough seas anon
Fear grips me like a vice
I breath and pray I will suffice
I know alone there is no hope
I've built a gallows, hung the rope

I must begin to start again
To forge new trust and faith sustain
To expose myself to deepest depths
Forgetting all my past regrets

With wheel know firmly set ahead
Sails unfurled catch wind of dread
Till dying breath I'll fight of course
No need have I for sad remorse

None can deny that we exist within a latticework of suffering; homelessness, addiction and poverty surround us, we're experiencing a suicide and mental health pandemic. The suffering touches everyone in some way, this begs the question, how does one go about easing suffering? Before we're able to address any of these issues individually, we must first ask ourselves, what's the root cause of so much suffering? In a word, dysfunction. The level of suffering is increasing, dysfunctional families have become the norm, the mental health pandemic is fueling ubiquitous self-medication in all stratum of our socioeconomic paradigm. Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with

Diary Note

 My fears are not in my mind, my mind is a slave to my fears. I feel the rebound of my Spiritual highs, this feels like one, the lack of ethanol and caffeine dragging my psyche down. THC up, sitting in the library "listening" to the pressure in my heart, if feels like a web of tensions spreading across my back.  Years ago, when I first started to self-medicate, I was able to let my rational mind, this allowed me to perceive the sensation I was experiencing as a sentient presence which moved as my mind's eye espied it.  unfinished thoughts...
