Welcome To

Welcome to: Hard on Yourself Prison,
Where sentencing is added to every decision.

Driven into vexatious thoughts,
A cycle of emotions, accusations wrought.

Caught in wordy why’s and wherefores,
Redundant objectives only multiplying more.

Questioning the inquisitioner:
Are they a good fibber or an ambiguous listener?

The harshest judge lives within..
To start afresh—where do I begin.

Let’s pack the critical encumbrances that weigh us down..
And loosen every tether that keeps us bound.
