Let Me Know

Are you one of those?
The kind that knows
Where I've been.
Inevitable time spent
Surviving the stretch
By methods deeply far fetched
Until one can't proceed
Even by one's dedicated creed.
Falling to a desperate pit
Of indecent muck and grit
Uncertain of the direction
Because of unanswered questions

Do you know where I'm from?
Or do you think I am dumb?
Although the old ways got me through,
Deep in my core I was blue.
It took me to miserably fail,
And sent me to my deserving hell.
I am the same, the steps are new
Do you understand, or haven't a clue?
I see questions and tears in your eyes.
What are you feeling and why do you cry?
It took me half a lifetime to get here.
Are you full of pain and agonizing fear?

Can you feel my heart ache or is that yours?
Have you walked in my shoes, do you know the cure?
The stages are difficult, what do you think?
Grasping all this, we connect, bond or link.
Please indicate something, give me a sign
If you have ever experienced an existence similar to mine.
I confess my garbage when it's beneficial to another
My intention here is not to seek attention, only to recover.
Here's your opportunity to seek help or help me.
I must be blunt, it's for my safety.
Part of my recovery is who to trust and what to believe.
In my unhealthy past I have been vulnerable or naïve.
