Soul Searching by Joan SerratelliAfter much
soul searching,
I have come to
the accept the fact
that the root
of all my problems
...is me
I cannot blame
anyone else
I lack guts
my inner will
is strong
but inside,
I am a hopeless
creampuff
I look for
acceptance
and for this
I have sacrificed
my soul 02/17/2010
Author's Note: A rough draft, but honest.
