It's In My Head…


What can I say, where do I start,
How the hell do I begin?
I haven't a clue, don't know what to do?
All I need to know, is will I win?
All my life has been a battle,
I've had to overcome so much,
But this is the worst time of all for me,
I need a rock, a crutch…
I need someone to tell me…
That everything's going to be ok,
But more, I need to believe it,
I need to get myself through each day.

I'm wrestling with my head and heart,
And my head is winning just now,
Its being negative, which is wrong,
I want to be focused, but wonder how!
I am always strong, focused, and conditioned….
To do what it is that I have to do,
But at the moment I'm failing,
For only negative thoughts are coming through!
Now it's really, really making me mad!
I can't keep feeling as I do!
It's getting me down, and that's no good!
I need my positive side to come through!
Every day when I awake,
Peter taught me true…
To say out loud, to myself…!
That I know what I have to do!
‘One day at a time, one day at a time!'
That's all I need to say each day!
Not look ahead, only to now,
And everything will be okay!
Not only has he taught me the meaning…
Of those words so strong,
But he taught me to apply it too,
For anything less is wrong!

So when I awake of a morning,
I say out loud every time…
‘One day at a time!'  That's all it takes…
And one day, peace will be mine!
And it works, it really does,
Because it makes me not look ahead,
I can't bear the thought of what could be,
I can't keep living my life in fear and dread!
You see, I have this awful fear,
That history will repeat on me,
And so terrified am I that this will occur,
That ‘fear' is all I can see!

I fight the good fight, I always have,
And I have and will always prevail…
Failure's not in the equation, not an option,
I am not now or ever going to fail!
I need to sort my head out,
That's all I have to do…
Get myself into the feel of things,
And do whatever it takes but see it through!
I will not give in, I can't concede,
I have to focus, stay strong and true,
Face the fear, face it head on,
And do what I have to do!

And Do It Good!
