I’m on the inside looking out No that’s not right … I’m on the outside looking in - There I go unable to decide Right I better start soul searching and analysing myself Or I will never get this poem finished. Self-reflection – I wonder if I am too Preoccupied, just forever contemplating my naval and Endlessly beating myself up at my inadequacies. Clearly I need to get a grip on reality …. Today would be an ideal time to do it! Instead of ruminating and chewing over the fat I Obsess at my faults and Never give myself credit for things I do well. Tongue in cheek write (I hope) for Introspection contest 06~26~16

Jan, I still think yours is VERY good. Some of them are a bit boring, too serious. I love this style!
