not pathetic, soul searching is fruitful self-examination
but then you drop it, and just BE - BE HAPPY!

Pathetic? I think not. Where else can peace be found if not in one's self? And during that search, if art is found as well, good for us.

Ah, I do not think it is pathetic, rather it takes a very courageous person to take a long deep look at where they are, and where they are going, Love how you expressed your journey in this excellent poem.

Soul searching is a pretty hard exercise but worth every tear and sweat! Those demons you didn't know existed in your closet ... brrr ... The last time I did decided to spring-clean my closet, I wrote "The Caged Tiger" poem. But you will know yourself better, and you will feel so much peace and 20kg lighter once done.

God bless, Sue!

there's nothing pathetic about soul searching, only giving up. the things you've seen and done, and what i know of them, tell me you've sailed enough oceans to know how to catch your wind.

Sue,

I agree with Robert, it is essential that we take
"time out" to regain focus!

sometimes we need to move within ourselves to regain perspective ...
nothing pathetic, about that ...

Sue,

Know that the peace you seek is seeking you with the same alacrity. Be mindful that you don't pass one another up sniffing the trail...

Great piece!

We all must face our demons from time to time, clean out our mental closets and start anew, and to do that we have to forgive ourselves first of all our past mistakes. Then we can move on.
