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.
