Mind Your Own Business

"Mind your own business,' is good advice.
and besides, meddling is just not nice.
The flaws in others that you bemoan,
are reflections of some of your own.

Removing the beams in your own eye
will keep you busy until you die. 
As you strive to overcome your flaws
You will find it to be a great cause.

During childhood, you experienced pain,
which is buried deep within your brain.
Unhealed pain shapes the way you behave,
resulting in habits that enslave.

As you age, childhood pain takes a toll.
Like a grey ghost, it torments your soul.
Self-medicating does not heal pain,
drugs and denial will dull your brain.

Mind your own business, confront your pain.
Face your hidden fears, start breaking chains.
Free yourself from the strain and the strife,
and gain from your pain a brand-new life.
