Self-Awareness
Who chooses our realities,
our various states of mind?
If we could count our mental states,
how many would we find?
*
The traumas from our childhood years
hid deep in heart and brain,
and so our personalities
were formed from joy and pain.
*
Our self-perception sets the course,
and magic of believing.
Our feeling nature will decide,
what image we’re receiving.
*
The power is within ourselves,
but not ‘till we’re aware.
Peace must be made with all that’s past,
and pain that’s lurking there.
*
When self-destructive thoughts arise,
triggered by desperation,
I fill my mind with thankful thoughts,
gain strength through meditation.
