An Attempt

by Nicci Wall

I feel the suns warmth upon my back,
I see its gleam on the dew covered grass.
All around me things appear much brighter,
No longer does my life seem a farce.
I am making an attempt to change,
The things in life which get me down.
By accepting choices made by those around me
Maybe even choosing to leave this town.
Although I will no longer accept responsibility
For choices that were not mine.
I won’t let the chance to have my say go by,
For then my efforts would be a waste of time.
So back into counselling it is I go,
Hopefully for the final healing journey.
As I plan on emerging from this bout,
A new person and mentally healthy.
And if by chance I don’t succeed,
There are no promises it will be the end.
To counselling I will return once more,
And I am prepared to do it again and again.
