Deb Wilson Poet Rhyme

Need An Attitude Adjustment

I feel like a mean old woman sometimes
Shaking my hard-knotted fist at the world
Yet feeling sheepish over my attitude
Shamed by the angry words I've hurled

My feelings get hurt and I strike back
At other times Ill just sit and cry
Turn my face to the darkened wall
And I'll continually question why

In solitude I usually get answers
If explanations are there to find
Some things are hard to even fathom
It's better to simply clear your mind

So let me have faith in the world at large
And not show anger so easily
After all we are only human
If I learn forgiveness then I'll be free

Carolyn Devonshire September 16, 2010 at 7:11 PM Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to accomplish, Deb. It seems like you feel bad about things you say and do when you "strike back." Most people do that, so maybe you could start by forgiving yourself. It might help dispell the anger as well. Very thought-provoking, introspective poem and I can relate well to the message. Love, Carolyn
