Concentration
A giant game of concentration
Distract the mind, and the life will follow
Avert, divert, remove attention
Move the retention
Of the thoughts
Away
Out
Of my mind
The longer they stay,
The more troublesome they become,
And the less they’re welcome
But the only way to stop some
Is to act
Act out
Or pretend
As though the act were committed
If you think you have fooled others,
You have only fooled yourself
But that’s fine,
Because I am the only one who needs convincing
My fantasy world is slowly
Merging with reality
But that simply cannot be
So I prove to myself there is a difference
Something must separate the two
Something must keep me in reality
The stinging wounds stare at me
As an unhealthy reminder
That I lost control
So long ago
I want that control
Back
But the more I try,
The deeper the hole I dig
And I find myself
At a new low
But each low,
A milestone in defeat,
Is also a marking point
For my way back up
They must be definitive
I need only the labels
And it will all be clear
And I can say
“This is what I am
Who I am
What I did
And why I did it.”
Only when I can say what’s wrong
Can I get all the help I need
But until I find these answers
I can only get help in looking
