Awareness

How unaware is your awareness?

I ran in negative circles and cycles
I walked the same beaten pathways to depression
I spoke the same words of self-destruction
I entertained the familiar voices of isolation
I searched for joy but lived in pain
I desired unconditional love but gave out conditions for love
I wished for peace but lived in my self-created nightmare
I wanted happiness but lived in turmoil for I was unaware
My unaware was the cost I paid for awareness
