Watching

Today for a change
I think I will try to watch my words for true meanings,
I will try to spot my own coded messages,
My own manipulation of others,
I want to see if I am kinder to those I like,
If I give more leeway to those who can be of use to me.
I want to decipher and be honest
About the messages I send myself.
When and what do I praise myself for?
What words and actions do I use to punish myself?
Who's voice am I hearing?
What happens when I am angry inside?
How do I channel my feelings and do they damage others?
It is important I know these things
Because I can not change what I do not acknowledge.
Without a driver who is in control
This muddle whom I call myself,
Is potentially,
A weapon of mass destruction let loose in the world,
Lord have mercy.
