My Way

In the corner of my mind
I sit and watch and try to find
Why I'm in a world where I don't belong
A place less real than music or a song

My truth is out there for me to see
In a world insane from which I flee
I'm not as crazy as they say
I just can't live a life their way

Poetry
by Vikki Powers
          Lost and Found

I lost someone I knew
She felt lonely, unloved and old
She didn't know what to do
Only wait to die as she was told


I wish I could have told her
The pain and loneliness would go away
But she was gone in a moment
I never had time to say

Her mind broke when she lost her mother
She despaired that her family no longer cared
There was no way to turn to another
No one with whom she might share

Do not grieve for this lost soul
She didn't die in the typical way
After years of medication and anguish
She woke up to a happier day

This story has a happy ending
Unlike most that tend not to be
For this lonely broken woman
Is now happy and healthy and me

Today is forever

Today is forever
Yesterday no more
Leave the past behind me
Into the future I know soar

Joys and pleasures
Alone with my cats
Unconditional love
Who wouldn't want that?

The pain of my body
My anchor to reality
Not masked with drugs
A springboard to spirituality
