Need An Attitude Adjustment

I feel like a mean old woman sometimes Shaking my hard-knotted fist at the world Yet feeling sheepish over my attitude Shamed by the angry words I've hurled My feelings get hurt and I strike back At other times Ill just sit and cry Turn my face to the darkened wall And I'll continually question why In solitude I usually get answers If explanations are there to find Some things are hard to even fathom It's better to simply clear your mind So let me have faith in the world at large And not show anger so easily After all we are only human If I learn forgiveness then I'll be free

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to accomplish, Deb. It seems like you feel bad about things you say and do when you "strike back." Most people do that, so maybe you could start by forgiving yourself. It might help dispell the anger as well. Very thought-provoking, introspective poem and I can relate well to the message. Love, Carolyn
