I COME BACK TO MYSELF SLOWLY <br /> <br /> <br />I come back to myself slowly <br />I have been away for a time <br />To another part of my self <br />I do not want to be at all- <br />It is the part of Despair and Fear and Loss of Hope <br />And guilt over my own unworthiness- <br />I have come back to myself a bit <br />I am sort of alright <br />There is not around me all this weight and cloud and all this heavy dragging me down- <br />I am calmer now. <br /> <br />I say I am coming back to my better self <br />I hope so <br />I do feel better- <br />But I know Life and the Other Self wait for me and will find me again- <br />Up and down, over and out, all around <br />The human being is a succession of his own continually conflicting selves.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-come-back-to-myself-slowly/
