Sometimes life sucks
Yes, that’s true
Tears that flow like a river
Yeah, I’ve been there too
I’ve sat along beside you
Up on that shelf
Now you know why I write
As much for you as for myself
For even I
Must heed the words I preach
To build a better me
Of this quest I’ll always reach
Don’t let the past
Define who you are
Don’t beat yourself up
Cause you don’t shine like a star
Don’t let your mistakes
Be the blueprint of your life
Don’t cast self judgement
Over days and nights of strife
Defend your character
When thrown under the bus
And crying over spilt milk
Serves no real purpose
When you feel it coming on
That feeling your boat is sinking
Remember to love yourself
Don’t give into stinkin’ thinkin’

Don’t let the past
Define who you are
I won't anymore. Thank you for the wise suggestion.
Good for you, a step in the right direction. Your welcome and thank you for reading.
An important message done in great meter and rhyme. It took returning to the faith tradition of my youth to transform tons of regrets and sin into small droplets to drop into an ocean eager to swallow them up for good. Liberating indeed o rid oneself of the stinkin' thinkin'.
Thank you Gary for your kind words. Yes, it can take some doing to rid oneself of guilt and regrets of mistakes. I've seen my share too. Thanks for reading.
Blessed by this !
