Inner Tyrants

Who are the tyrants within? 
The ones from past experiences, yelling opinionated. 

Younger Self.
Sitting at a bar,
Yelling jokes and sitting stagnant. 

More naive Self.
Stuck in violence,
Accepting anything as love. 

Childless Self.
Hopeful but uneducated,
Incapable of understanding eternal love. 

Sabotaging Self. 
Feeling like the good is closing,
Grasping onto each joyful moment in fear.


Conditional Self.
Requirements to embrace again,
Forgetting how far they've come. 

I've met these TYRANTS...
I've sat along side them in empathy,
Who am I, accepting them again?
