Opening eyes
fetal position beside my bed
unremembered dreams;
but I know the scene.
Every cure
from alcohol to psychiatrists,
side affects that wreck.
The history erased
leaving trace
and the pain,
is never where I’d expect it to be.

I have been here in more ways then one and learned to embrace the pain to heal and walk in the present. Best of luck.
