Array ( [sid] => 108226 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Starting Again A Different Way [time] => 2005-10-22 01:57:13 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I was always looking at the bad
never looking for the good
so many good days I coulda had
so much higher I coulda stood
I think I've had chances to make things right
but all I would do was focus on the wrong
The past three years were miserable, no end in sight
I thought everything I ever had, and could have was gone
for so long I was stuck thinking,
that when something good happened, something bad happened, too
thought the good things would just keep sinking
until they were nothing but a nightmare, too
The reason I looked at the bad
was because, it was so easy to find
layed out infront of me, it was always so sad
to find the good things was a challenge to the mind
I took the easy way out so I could move on
to the next bad thing out there
I thought I was way too far gone
Something happened and I began to care
I knew if I didn't stop this,
I would surely be wasting anything I had left
there is one thing I have missed,
I am the one responsible for the theft
of who I am, and who I could be
I stole myself, and thought I was lost
but now that i'm thinking I can see,
if I go on like this, there is a cost
So now I get to choose
life or death?
Am I gonna win, or am I gonna loose?
I've found myself now, I am catching my breath
From now on when there is something to think about,
I will look for the good way before the bad
I have many more doubts
but one thing i'm sure of, now I have a chance to get what I never had [comments] => 5 [counter] => 261 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Sae [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
Starting Again A Different Way

You've taken the first two steps as knowing is half the battle. You've decided to find the good. A great write.
keep the faith and positive attitude.

Cognitive thought restructuring works wonders. Have you thought about keeping a "positive thoughts" journal?
