Ya know I got to thinkin'
Of where my life is at
And came to a conclusion
So to me I tip my hat
I may not be where I should
But I'm not where I once was
To me some ground's been made
And I know this just because
I can now sleep at night
I am lucid most all days
I may not be too perfect
But I've grown in many ways
I've got beyond the 'can't do'
To the place 'I think I can'
That to me speaks volumes
To an ordinary man
This tale I tell continues
As I wake to greet each day
Juxtaposed to wishing
That it all would go away

This was an amazing poem. Now, before you think "wow she's really sucking up" I mean it. Everyone has gone through a stage of their life where they "can't do". To reach the other side and be able to say you can is a beautiful thing. Some people go their whole lives without ever thinking they can, and you do. I'm extremely impressed with both the wording of the rhyme, and the idea that you protray. Good job!

i thought this to be such a great poem, I could understand it, and sort of relate with it, in some ways, and I love the workd Juxtaposed, one I would have never used, but it sounds like something has changed you, or working through you. when I read the word lucid, I wondered, are you a lucid dreamer as well, you know the kind where one has the out of body experience, I am. so I was just wondering. but a great write, I enjoyed the read, the best of luck

I do appreciate you stopping to comment
Lucid to me means 'a tad more with it...knowing what is happening around me as the fog has lifted somewhat. Still get dazed and overloaded at times but on the whole I am facing reality head on and trying to deal with it.

Here's something to think about... it's from one of my poems:
"And when I die"
We live between birth and death
or so we convince ourselves conveniently
when in truth
we are being born and dying
simultaneously
every instant of our lives

AWESOME! INCREDIBLE! STUPENDOUS! So true, we should always look at how far we have come. If it doesn't work to look at the big picture, then look at the little picture, little steps, little growths, daily accomplishments. Well done, Goosey! Mwah!
