Poetry : Concerns

 


Concerns



Concern yourself with the objective truth of the tale

Piteous tale of the self that you continuously inhale

Stories co-authored by fear & the wounded ego

More dangerous than a unstable gambler in a casino


Concern yourself with the voices let loose in your head

Before they rot your soul and leave you for dead

Voices magnified by bruises brushed under the rug

Self-deprecation is a miserable man’s favorite drug


Rewrite the soaked & smudged stories of your past

Reject also the depressing gloom you have forecast

Not everything you think about yourself is true

It’s always a good time to introspect & start anew
