Pushing through your chapters,
Contemplating that one,
Everyone has.
You know of it,
The horrid chapter you yourself have traversed.
Sadness,
Depression,
Self Loathing,
Failure,
Turmoil,
They’re all there in deed or thought.
People try to help,
With their unsolicited advice,
But the truth is,
Only you knew what you had been through.
Only you could do the work to pull out of it.
That ugly chapter would only end,
By ridding yourself of those negative traits,
Reminding id and ego of the better chapters,
Where the positives are.
If you can’t remind yourself,
Just how good life can be,
Then that bad chapter isn’t over.
It’s time to do the work,
Pull yourself out of it,
Begin the next chapter,
Live again.

First (there's always a first), I love how you have used chapter as a metaphor.
Second, you have written something profound that touches every single human being. Bravo, dear. Not bad for a Tuesday!!
Sorry. Chapter up there should be in quotes.. as in 'chapter'. I'm a dumbass.
No apology necessary....I think we understood what you meant.
Punctuation is for sissies! LOL
Might it work better as prose, do you think? It has a "Desiderata" quality ...
