Sanity

But how sane are we, really? ~ The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Location 139).

Functional. Able to operate,
to achieve goals, to fulfill plans.
Surely that describes my life
in decades past. Respected,
capable, somewhat effective.
Yet inside raged doubt, ineptness,
self-contempt. Indecision,
fear disguised as procrastination
crippling me, brought to my knees.
Restore me to sanity? Well, yes...
maybe. But can I have been restored
to what I never before had,
at least since early childhood?
I'll not quibble with details,
merely rejoice that sanity
at last is mine.
