I Lost my Way

I lost my way today

It wasn’t because of you

I yelled and screamed

My pain bled right through


We both didn’t realize

All the moments that were built up

Like a volcano I was about to erupt


The guy that cut in front of me

The woman that did the same

They didn’t realize I was in pain


The knife that slipped and cut my hand

And the soup that was just too hot

I accidentally spilled on the pup

 That must have hurt a lot


I tried to help my little dog

His tail tucked between his legs

He ran away and hid in pain

Sadness penetrated all like rain


That journal that got thrown away

It didn’t seem like treasure

I only worked on it my whole life

It just looked like scribbles of someone’s strife


I had a bad day it wasn’t because of you


It wasn’t about the man or woman

Who cut in front of line


The hand that held the knife that slipped

Was obviously mine


How could I be so careless and hurt my precious dog


I left my journal in the rain

It looked beyond repair

So obviously it looked like I didn’t care


One bad day can add to another

So a perpetual yell feast this will be


Because I have the right to be angry


If I take time to reflect on these events

This path does not feel good

I also have the choice to see

That I have to work on me


I am not perfect and never will be

I will find ways for me to change

And calm the energy with in


This is where I will begin


No more explosions

That is my goal

For that takes too much of a toll

One thought on “I Lost my Way

  1. Presented with the kind of genuine humility which allows readers to go through the process with you, coming to the same conclusions as does the poem. Nice rhyme and meter, too. Great write. 👌
