It's not me it's the rest of the World!

I have been looking in the bins for a fountain of promised joy
While tripping over nuggets of happiness. I have been searching for
The answers to this world when all I need is within me. I have been
Scanning for a permanent connection when the light of realisation is
There in front of me, telling me that we are all already connected.
I am my own turmoil, I am my own confusion and yet my fingers point
To you!
You cannot provide my every need for happiness nor bring me food for
My Soul but each and every footprint I leave on my journey tells me of
My discovery of where I have been to find what I need.
I have been looking in a box of perfection to find that the world embraces
Imperfection.
I have been sitting in the seat of judgement an uncomfortable hard place
To sit when I could have been comfortable with acceptance.
I have been wrestling with change and trying to hold back the ever moving
Pages of History, the words have moved on and I am left with a blank page.
How can I find the keys? I look in all the familiar places but life has changed
The locks and my circles have worn a hole in the carpet!
What need have I of enemies when I am my worst!
My default is sticking band aid on your wounds that have healed while mine
Haemorrhage with neglect.
Healing comes in a sentence where I replace the word, You, for, I.
For the change begins with me.

This is very complex to say the least. You never fail to impress. This could most probably be the best note to self I have ever witnessed. At the moment, it is the best because my brain fails to remember any better. I'm just giving the hey I should have thought of that when I was typing this comment on this poem the benefit of the doubt.

Hi Anna,
As the jailor said to the condemned .....
Q. ''What would you like as a last request?''
A. ''A second chance!''
And this is what we all look for - maybe even
a 3rd or 4th - and you've nailed the
frustration and soul-searching, articulately.
Tommy
