Self Mastery (Poem for Myself)

 

(Not drawn by me- screenshot taken via internet surfing)

Tamp sadness down

Push the negative out

With a whisper 

And not a shout


Understand that time

Will take its pace 

Patience is a virtue

Life ain't a race


A tidy place

Gives a tidy mind

An organised body

With goals assigned...


Stops emotion from getting

Too low or too high

Aim for stability

Or the end is nigh!


Remember that goals

Are long term not short

Remember the locus

The world is your court


What you do and feel

Affects all those around you

So keep it on lock

It's not just about you.


Compose yourself fully

You are in control

Let go of any sadness

Then you'll be on a role


To proceed forward rightly

One foot, two feet, three

Chill out and be strong

Be firm like a tree.


Don't lose your focus

Be mindful of others

Be less selfish and yield-

think of pressed flowers!


The time it takes to make them

Is long and you await

moisture to leave petals

But it's worth the wait.


Life is a journey

You go through many doors

When one closes, another opens

So make your life YOURS!
