Self-examination

It is not upon you alone the dark patches fall,
The dark threw its patches down upon me also,
The best I had done seemed to me blank and suspicious,
My great thoughts as I supposed them, were they not in reality meagre?
Nor is it you alone who know what it is to be evil,

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.

But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call

Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

I guess I’ve known for quite some time that I’m an addict/alcoholic. I went years drinking every day, and then was able to stop of my own accord. Surely I had it beat! It doesn’t matter that the frequency decreased while in direct proportion, the quantity increased. I wasn’t drinking or using every day, so obviously...
