Turnabout (Thought/Happy) Poem by Poet of the River

I thought my life was a meaningless dropp of water in a raging sea.
That there was no meaning for my life and no real place in it for me.
I looked through the waters of my failures to a reality I had missed.
Beyond the pain, sorrow, and my scared wrists.
I found a life resting there, silent and secluded within.
In finding this life within I was able to open the eyes of doubt and see what I had missed for years past.
I was witness to a reason not to give in,
a reason to live my life and for my diminishing hope to last.
to choose to live,
and hit the road running fast.
