Denial Poem by Aldo Kraas

I was many times in denial
I could not see my self loosing my temper
I was hurting those I loved the most
The devil got hold of me now
I see it is true
If I went to jail for beating up people
I know I would not survive a day in there
I would have lost my freedom for ever
Today I thank for Clonazepan and Apodivalproex
They saved my life
I am not the man I intended to be
What would be life in Jail?
Would I see the sunsets?
I would be isolated from the world
What life would I have in jail?
Hitting people is not right
It has finally stopped with me
Now once I admitted
And did something about it
I can live in peace
I just could not see the warnings coming before
Now I understand it better
