Drowning In My Own Angry Juices
Drowning in my own angry juices
Killing myself not so softly
Because she has hurt my feelings again
Because she is selfish and it makes me sad
Letting unkind thoughts consume me
Drowning myself with rage, which is helping me not
I teach people not to do this, daily
And yet here I am ignoring my own teachings; listening to my mad self.
Stop it this second! I yell, holding up my imaginary stop sign.
Change up my sorrow, flushing it with any little bit of joy
Reciting the Lord’s Prayer, meditating with my angels
Choosing His way, not my self-pitying ways.
Choosing His suggestions
Choosing myself
Forgiving those who trespass against you
Actually saves the day in my case.
