I'm Not Me Poem by Howard Dalton

Words Can Be Knifes When Spoken With Love
An Empathy, A Compassionate Shove
An Encouraged Chorus To Give You Courage
A Psychological Reversal To Lift Us
Words Such As You Should
You Could If You Only Would
You Need A Walk In The Woods
It Will Make You Well, Feel Good
It Is Not A Feeling, It's A Chemical Tide
When The Tides Out, I'm Dying Inside
When The Tides In, I'm Barely Alive
No Gravitational Pull Decides
Every Night I Hope To Wake
To Who I Was, Not This Fake
I Am Not Me, But All Is At Stake
I Am In Search Of Myself, Make No Mistake
Howie Joe.
