Time to sit and ponder
Thoughts of yesteryear
Repeated memories
Insight lost to blanks
Constant thought processing
Where did my mind go
How did I arrive here
I must choose a goal
No matter what it is
Employ my senses
Break through this wall of silence
Into a place I used to know
Rise above the wasteland
Look back on the confusion
As if it never existed
Force myself to be useful
Drive a hard bargain
Leave the long days behind
Please tell me what you think

" Force myself to be useful".We all need to feel useful even if we feel we are not.We have to break through our personal wall of silence which isn't easy to do, especially when the clouds of self doubt surround it.I can empathise will all you write here.Shall we knock that wall down with the breath of inspiration, Ros

Courageous first, then well said
The tone of the contest makes it clear you had a strong message to share despite the harshness expressed. My favorite lines are "Employ my senses break/Break through this wall of silence".."Insight lost to blanks".. . Good job. I hope the person it's intended for can get to the messages.
