Consider Rationality a Good Choice
When being caught up in frustration,
driving possibilities away as they couldn't help,
consider rationality a good choice
by discharging assumptions previously believed...
and what if this turned out fine?
You would be utterly amazed!
Foolish reasoning may lead to unforgivable regret,
restrain yourself, make wise decisions...
why choose irrationality and be driven by contempt?
Sit down and reconsider the best options,
why rush to conclusions and be cut off reason?
Many have done this, but the outcome was horrible!
Too glad to have never clung to irrationality,
but had a precocious mind and a disciplinary spirit:
not erring, or causing bitterness and resentment
in myself and others who trusted my judgement...
oh, how many misunderstandings and hurtful words
I avoided by making better choices and be in control.
Use my experience as a guide to your shortcomings,
consider rationality as a good choice to prevent repeated repulsions;
replace fear with trust, allow your confidence to outgrow any uncertainty.
You won't encounter unpleasant surprises as in the days of unrest...
when shadows loomed over your horizon defeating your plans;
let desire consider rationality a good choice to fulfill your expectations.
