Tasmanian Devil like, is how my brain does behave 

But calm and peace are all that I crave 

Not seeking material riches, just want internal stillness 

Can be tiring intermittently fighting an invisible illness 

Hard sometimes when sitting down to reflect 

How did this happen, what did I do, what did I neglect 

Often wonder if the excessive drinking caused me harm 

Whatever the reason, the brain is unable to maintain much sense of calm 

Never want to be a burden, causing loved ones sadness or tension 

So forgive me if I get to a place of little or no comprehension

When the eyes are staring but there’s nothing to see 

Be strong with hard decisions, is how I’d like you to be 

When the lights go out, forget the darkness if possible please 

Just smile on good memories like a warm summer breeze
