Introspection
In more quiet moments, I may look inward
Noticing about myself
The little things that need changing as well as
Regular traits that I could still improve on.
Obliteration of a few bad habits seems impossible to me,
So toning them WAY down seems the logical solution.
Perhaps it’s pure laziness; I like to think I’m being realistic.
Escaping my weaknesses is not an easy thing!
Certainly I can at least try to make the good in me
Tip the scales to far outweigh the bad!
I have a very keen sense of self - of how I can be at my best -
Open, cheerful, steadfast, senstivie, conscientious.
Naturally fun-loving, I seldom self-reflect! That’s just how I roll.
