Analysis of Erratic
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
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.
