Independently Paved Path to Happiness

struggling to push through the enormous pain
residing within every part of my damaged brain
trying to pull happy memories out of the clutter
so I don’t think about falling back into the gutter
similar to the crane used to grab stuffed animals
inside a glass box causing each player to scramble
dumping their whole paycheck into this game
obsession defiled by toys dropping from the crane
my tenacity to reclaim my independence
won’t allow me to sit and suffer in silence
I’m so close to having my passion materialize
I can see, feel and taste my manifesting prize
still, life continues to throw bags of shit at me
I’d be lying to say that life’s been great in sobriety
my pink cloud turned black then filled with hail
assaulting me with baseball sized ice that fell
from dark skies forming funnel clouds that surround
me every day, each time I hid I was quickly found
and just as I contemplated giving up and surrender
Divine Intervention reached out, helping me remember
the fact that there is no other time than right now
and the rest of the universal laws that show me how
to dissolve every obstruction residing inside my mind
without the clutter, the path to happiness is easy to find
