Self TalkA man of wry wit
Wrote his own obit
He said,
I'm dead,
That's the end of it...

The Ventriloquist VoiceThousand thoughts rummage the grey fluff.
Gloomy, godawful voices thump in self-talk
"I'm an idiot, a loser,...... it's all my fault".
Autopsies of the past, tear my flesh,
Regrets of a decade, devour my heart.
Rant of betrayals suffocate my breath.
Capricious sentiments egg me to a wreck.
Loud conch shells stalk me in heavy weight.
I sink in the abyss of "What'll...

He Used To Call Me HoodIn my head is a little green monster who wants to put me down.
He has a pointed purple tail, and he wears an angry frown.
He says such mean things to me, he used to keep me mad and sad.
Now when he starts up, I barely hear him, and this is rather rad.
He used to call...

Negative Self TalkFailure is a funny old thing
All of your worst fears take to wing
Lies you have told yourself more than once
Leak right into your brain, like a sponge
Intelligent though you may be
Never a light in the tunnel you'll see
Giving up or just giving in
Always seems easier when
People you meet won't be kind
Always bringing the worst...

Silly Self-TalkSilly Self-Talk
I had a conversation with myself, as many of us often do,
I asked myself a question, and expected an answer too.
Did you ever take time out, to let your imagination run wild?
As you walked in the sand, bucket in hand like an innocent young child.
Did you ever stop to wonder, what you...

Self-Talk(Dedication: For my son Michael Zachary)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aid your appeal with easy wit;
Welcome the pun that comes to heal;
Air sure reveal in worthwhile fit;
Raise cheery fun to fund goodwill;
Enter each feel with loving bits.
Seize moment's prime to dwell right now;
Embrace all things that happen here;
Love beyond crime what love endows;
Faith ever sings with sanguine cheer.
Trust in your...

Self TalkToday is the day
To get things done
Come on girl
I know you have it in you
Roll your sleeves up
There's dishes to be washed
And laundry to be spun
There's checks to be written
And groceries to be picked up
Your hairs all matted
And oh my god!
You look like an episode
of the walking dead
Sew back on your skin
And walk...

Self Talk ExplorerMay you explore the world outside
and learn to relax outside of your comfort zone
Step to the beat of a different drum
Never neglect to share a smile with a stranger...
Work on your attitude , it will open many doors and windows
Be aware of who you allow to grasp your heart
You cannot love without trust
Never give up...

Self-TalkHeed the pure feed
Of wants and needs
Note how touch feels
Fond ooze that heals
Keep peace of mind
With truth you find
Know in your heart
How love moves start
In self-talk poise
Heed heart's sure voice

Self-TalkHold me down, then watch me rage.
Hold me back, I'll disengage.
Control me, and I'll just rebel.
Challenge me, I will excel.
Simplify me, but I'm complicated.
Fitting in is overrated.
You can't limit me with your low expectations.
My confidence matches my high aspirations.
I'll stand out despite your suppression.
I can't blend in. I am the exception.
Knock me down and leave me with bruises.
I'll rebound from...

Self TalkTrapped like a fish in a simple fish bowl,
Unable to break out to be free,
Unable to escape the abuse of my world,
The abuse directed at me,
I’m reminded, each day, I’m not worthy of love,
Reminded I don’t have the right,
Reminded that it is all my own fault,
That I am no more than...

Self-TalkRelax
It is only
for this time that we live
testing the fiber of our faith
Repeat
All of life will be satisfied
from butterfly to bee.
My gods got it.
Let go.

Playing Poem-Making TodayPlaying poem-making today. Twisting my brains into position.
They are resisting in no way, realizing grown up Caren is in charge here.
I start a little gorilla missive.
It is going along nicely, and I am humming the rhythm.
Pleased with myself.
Suddenly two of my childhood dendrites grab it, throwing roller skates on it.
They turn my darling purple...

Light Verse
Self-TalkThe tale now told
Blooms and unfolds
The sign I mark
Glimpse of fine spark
The words I write
Verse rhymes now cite
The face I show
Flings a fond glow
The truth I sing
Claims a grand fling
The touch I share
Is how I fare
The lines I etch
Exert a sketch
The life I live
Is gift I give
The moments here
Vanish with tears
The tale once told
Air cannot...
