Struggling to stay afloat

by deeplydesturbed   May 30, 2017


As I struggle down a path I do not know
I find myself lost and alone
As many have done before me
Questioning how I got myself here

Suddenly standing at a crossroads
Unable to decide left or right
One path takes me back to my demons
The other clears me for life

I realise it is something only I can decide
This is why I'm alone
It's not something you can force upon me
I'd never have healed at home

Going down the left path
I have finally made my choice
Is it the right one?
I won't ever know

There will always be "what if's.."
and "did I chose right?"
I must let go of my fears
and stop drinking day and night

    Naomi, I'm so sorry I missed this one.
    We can never know entirely what path is the right one; we can only use our common sense and hope that it's enough! But, what I can say is that in this instance, it sounds like you may well be on the right one.
