My heart is too frequently engaged
In pursuits of the most frivolous kind,
Sometimes it runs away with itself
Leaves my mind lagging far behind.

Epigram 5

 Self-awareness must not be confused 
With self-consciousness which can be
Devastating for people with fragile egos  
You cannot be as good as your inner self....

Don’t always march
To another’s drumbeat,
Nor always dance
To another person’s tune,
But march in time
To your own heartbeat and
Dance and dance
Till you reach the moon …...

Self awareness,
freedom’s chain

Mirrored judgment,
harbored pain

Descarte’s premise,
inside out

To know oneself
—eternal doubt


(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2019)...

If only everyone
Could see themselves
Through other people’s eyes,
For wise men who don’t know
That they are wise,
Are fools,
Whereas fools who know 
That they are fools,
Are wise!...

I am awful person
with a great sense of self awareness
I am a good person 
who hurts the ones I love
I love the ones who don't deserve it
The ones who deserve my love get the back of my head....

First rhythm to the beat:
Being honest
Next guest of honour:
Purpose
Following the morning after:
Self-awareness and courage
Break for freedom:
The musician strikes a cord

And echoes the universe it's glorious Love song...

The paradox
of self-awareness
near and yet so far

Looking out
to see within
imploding like a star

The door that enters
exits free
its threshold bright then dim

Allowing what
the psyche fears
—to pass both out and in

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)...

I:
Pronoun
Personal

Came into being,
Achieved self-awareness;
Wondered if it was worth it.

My consciousness existed first!


Mark Halliday, 201405428...

Self help does not always help self,
Self indulgence could be hazardous to self,
Self advertising can create ego too big for self. 

Self awareness comes before improving one self,
Self diagnosis does not make a happy self,
Self doubt is no excuse for isolating one self....

it´s only 
a hop, skip, 
and a jump  
away from 
a greater state of
self awareness 
which leads to
self betterment 
which causes 
a peace of mind
that once was 
non existent 
within the self 
that is now growing 
ever stronger within 
the present version 
of reality...

Language builds a place to stand,
inside our own cognition

Each word confirms what thought instills,
in psychic recognition

Are you the true informant,
about what’s inside your head

1st person self awareness frees
—a nature higher bred

His poems were about racism.
About the white man who wouldn't hire him
	because he was a “dirty Mexican.”
My mind shivered in disgust.

In the end he said, “…and I thank my wife…”
He spotted her in the audience, nodded, and
	smiled lovingly.
I immediately turned to look for the Hispanic
	woman in the crowd....

starting a journey 
within the self 
embarking on an 
excursion into the soul
taking an outing 
into the unknown 
pack a picnic lunch
full of questions 
that need answers 
that hopefully will
be found on the way 
to self awareness 
once this field trip of 
the present self 
has come to it's conclusion 
on the other
side of reality...

Self-mutilation a crushing despair
Helpless rage, no solace anywhere

Inner directed emotional surge
Urgent outlet, implosive urge

With self-awareness to your own self be true
Project not unto others what's shameful in you



Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemyPOET
into a friend--MLKJr./I Am Anaya

And here I am under your majestic embrace
Giving into what your nature shares
Wondering why you need those spiky pods
Is it to protect what you treasure most?
When autumn comes you then let it go.

I too have my spiky pods
Holding on, not wanting to let go.
Keeping safe my inner soul.
As the leaves changes I hold my breath
And realise that I am autumn past....

Wasted years of not knowing

That just being me was enough

Inadequacy pumped through my veins

Never knew of self love


Feelings of inferiority 

Little confidence or self worth

Failed before l even started

Never experienced true inner mirth


It took years, maturity ,self awareness

To open my eyes and see

l was worthy and entirely enough

Just being me ….....

At the city dump discarded parts of the once needed
will forever speak to our lack of self-awareness

A turned over land is built on artifacts
the future will have no name for

Plastic trees will thrive between disposable bones
We will be put away beneath our own food mountains

The land will-fill it will remember nothing gotten
or worshiped at that sacred site we once knew as Walmart...

Adam was content to stay
where flowers bloomed every day.
And for an infinite span,
God sated the soul of Man.

Yet Man lacked self-awareness,
and God saw that unfairness.
A woman's daring was sought
to give Man free will of thought.

So Eve gave birth to reason;
and thought came into season.
Though Man found sin in her deed,
thanks to Eve, His soul was freed....
