I Have Come To Understandings With My Innerself Poem by Rayjean Carter

IVE COME TO REALIZE SOMTHING.
ive had my bad days.
and ive had my good days.
Then my emotions went haywire. I didnt know how to control them.
So i needed an understanding. an understanding of my innerself.
I REALIZED...I DONT WANNA BE MAD. I DONT WANNA BE SAD.
I DONT WANNA CRY. I DONT NEED TO DIE YET.
IVE REACHED DOWN INTO MY INNERSELF AND REALIZED THAT I NEED TO OVERCOME THOSE HARD TIMES.
I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE GOOD SIDE OF MY LIFE.
IVE BEEN SICK HERE AND THERE
BUT I HAVEN'T REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT YET.
IM HAPPY, CONTENT.
I CAN LEAVE THE BAD THINGS ON THE BENCH
OF THAT DIRTY FEILD I USE TO VISIT ALL THE TIME.
LEAVE MY SAD DAYS IN A BAG TO ROT AND DRY.
IM FINE. PERFECTLY FINE. IM NOT A TRAIN.
I DONT COME AND GO AS THE PEOPLE PLEASE NO! ! IM ME! RAYJEAN ANGELIC!
I MIGHT NOT BE AT A PERFECT STATE BUT AT LEAST I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTANDINGS WITH MY INNERSELF.
