Analysis of Erratic



Finally,
He reached
The point
Where
He had exhausted
Every possibility.
There was no
Event,
No trauma,
That could have caused
His erratic behavior.
He was left
With the realization
That this was simply who he was.

It was a difficult journey,
One filled with disappointment
And frustration,
But it had brought him
To a newfound
Understanding of himself.
He had spent his life
Searching for answers,
But in the end,
It was the acceptance of his own mystery
That set him free.
He no longer needed a reason
Dor his behavior,
He just needed to embrace it.

Joe Strickland

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…
