Never Be Angry

Nov15

Furious

Like rats in a cage subjected to electric
Shock at erratic intervals, humanity
Is electrified constantly by negative
Emotion. It’s not the healthiest way to live.
If I’m angry what can anything offer me?
Being ornery all the time is no picnic.

When you’ve got a strong energy flowing through you
And something seems to be standing right in the way
Of your getting way past it you can’t help but be
Somewhat hateful but it robs you of energy.
In alignment with your Source is where you must stay.
You may find that getting there is easy to do.

Look at someone who you have extreme anger for
And tell them not directly but in the mind’s eye
That you haven’t decided yet how long you will
Allow them to prevent you from having the thrill
Of alignment and goodness. Then ask yourself why
You’ve allowed this vibration that you most deplore.

We all need to express anger but how long do
You hold onto it? How long do you want to stay
Cut off from clarity, abundance, and wellness?
You can answer these without your having to guess.
You can focus negative emotion away
By remembering what brings happiness to you.

Self-Sabotage

Jul2

Self-Undoing

Up and down like a roller coaster is my mood.
At the moment I’m mortified by an event
That occurred a few weeks ago. I can’t let go
Of the injury I caused to myself. I know
That I’m solely responsible. My discontent
Arises from the fact that my vision is skewed.

I’m adept at Self-Sabotage or so it seems
At the moment. Why am I so damned sensitive
To the feelings of others regarding what I
Failed to do even though I gave it my best try?
It’s a thing unbecoming that I have to live
In this trap of my own emotional extremes.

I can’t talk myself out of anger, depression,
Or discord. I can look for positive aspects
In the drama I created unconsciously.
At this point, my aim is to be totally free
Of the issue and all of its harmful effects.
Misery is a cheap form of self-expression.

I can soften it up a bit by saying that
I don’t mean sabotage. It’s more like not being
More deliberate. The contrast is important
To the universe. There’s no reason that I can’t
Be influenced by that which is most agreeing
With my spirit. There’s much more that I can look at.
