Tapping Our Inner Selves

We can be our own

Worst enemies and best friends

We have the choice to nurture and grow

Or burn our candles at both ends

We can learn to let go and

Set our spirits free

Or chose to traverse

On a self-destructive spree

We possess the wisdom

To choose when to be chagrined

We have the innate Impetuosity

To throw caution to the wind

We can choose to lug baggage

And harbour trepidation

We can choose to purge our

Soul of such edgy sensation

We have choice

In each of life’s turn or circumstance

It’s these choices that contour

Our inner substance
