My True Purpose

The time has arrived

to accept my situation

to be honest with myself

and recognise my condition.

The turmoil in my head

is not going away

even though I might feel better

it will only last a few days.

I must learn to expect it

at any time

and try to understand

feeling like this is not a crime.

It is all part of the condition

to feel like I am worthless

and that they people who love me

think I am hopeless.

When in reality a beautiful soul

lies beneath my surface

waiting to show me

my true purpose.
