Too Great A Price

Tonight I no longer justify my existence,
here, where there is nothing but memories to
assault my every whereabouts.
Each room relays a message of ruin,
thoughts of hopelessness, and an unanswerable question
for each movement I make.

Tonight I have decided upon many things,
those that have been calendered,
but never defined and dated until now.
I have lost much, nothing monetary
but of a value that cannot be determined
by anyone but myself.

I have paid a price that I can no longer afford.
I have gone into debt, placed myself in a position
I don't wish to be in anymore.
It will be an uphill climb, and
I have made some progress already
in learning who I really am and
what I will tolerate and the needs
that I must meet, to be able to set my goals
and have my own order in life.

Sometimes you have to give up something precious,
to gain in this life, and if that is the answer
then that is the direction I must go.
If you see me begin to falter, send a smile my way
to lift me up, for with friendships I shall never fail again.

Looks to me like you had a night of a lot of thought and reflection which I'd definitely classify as good to have on occasion.
And you hit the mark there at the end relationships are important, friends mean so much. May you always have a shoulder to lean on!
I liked this, was a thinker for me, made me reflect a bit too.

Always, Alyssa

forgive me this mistake
