Anita May Poet Light Verse

Mindstorm

Yesterday was hell.
I know, 
I made it so,myself.

I took the words that someone said
And turned them into a weapon
I used against my own person.

I couldn't let go,
I wouldn't let go.
I became stuck in a negative mindstorm.

Was the moon in chaos?
Had the past lain in wait
for just that sentence?

I do not know, 
And won't wait to dissect 
the reasons I went wrong.

Today I will try again,
To treat myself and others 
With more kindness.

God knows we all deserve 
A second chance, or maybe three,
Or even four...

John Freeman July 25, 2009 at 10:13 PM 7x70=490, the good book said in one day! Ha! maybe, we won't need it that many times in one day for the same thing. God bless you, and I like the way you took credit for knowing it was you own fault you believed what was said, very good write, clear in your point, thanks for sharing, God bless, Moses
