Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Yeah, yeah, I still haven’t posted my summertime music post yet….I’ll get there. Today I am reflective, and I was listening to REO Good Trouble and “The Key” played. That song is MY song and says so much about my struggles for so very long and I thought let’s post the words and some reflections on that today.

It is a song about having emotional issues and wishing you knew how to get inside yourself and work it out for the good, but it is so very hard. Sometimes we don’t even know what the issues are until someone comes along and gives you a push in that direction. No one can do that work but you – no one can work through your issues and “set the demon free” but yourself. My issues were many, but I have worked through much of it with still a little work to do. The key for me was facing all the yucky stuff, giving it a name, grieving for the losses I had, forgiving, and moving on. I am in the forgiving stage and maybe after that I can finally move on because really, I am ready to move on. I am ready to let all that stuff be behind me now and to be me and accept myself as I am. We really are the ones who hold the key to heal what hurts us inside, but sometimes we do need help to find out how we can do that. God and two counselors helped me through this one and I’m thankful for all three. Yes, even the idiot counselor for he was able to pinpoint exactly what the problems were finally. If you are struggling don’t stop trying to find your key and don’t stop trying to find someone who will help you – you are worth it!

I couldn’t sleep at all last night my mind was racin’

I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin’

And now I have a need to take a look at what is real.

I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel

But all I really know is what I see

And everybody sees it differently

I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me

But I’m the only one who holds the key

Your body lay aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin’

So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin’

And calling out to anyone who could help you through the night

And hoping that someone would come along to make it right

But all you really know is what you see

And everybody sees it differently

I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free

But you’re the only one who holds the key
