Lost

I open my eyes to morning mist
  reality swirls around in heavy fog
unable to tell from where I've come
  fearful of any direction I may take

Soon sunk into a bog of indecision
  the quagmire of uselesness sucks down
pulling and sucking until all is paralyzed
  the urge to just go under overpowers

Alone in the dark night of the soul
  any cry for help is strangled by
fear of appearing weak, unbalanced, unable to
  carry one's own load in life

Out from the mist, from the other side,
  a friendly voice encourages trying some more
as a breath of fresh wind blows,  the fog clears, bog dries
  and the way I came and the way forward
all makes sense now.

That's so sweet. Thanks so much!

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
