his month’s feature poem is a mantra against the toxic effects of using worry and guilt as a filter for life. Worry and guilt are not productive or necessary, yet it is so easy to choose these censors to limit ourselves. When we worry or feel guilty, we live in the world of “shoulds” and self-judgement. When we take the perspective of our soul, we simply live from our own truth and intentions and allow everyone else to do the same.
Worry & Guilt
Worry and guilt
Worry and guilt
Absolutely everything has worry or guilt
Worry for the bad
Guilt for the good
Absolutely everything contains a big should
I should do this,
I shouldn’t do that
I beat myself up with a big mental bat
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Kill that parasite
Swing batter, batter, batter
Swing batter, batter, batter
Free me from this blight
I own it for me,
But not for you
I’m not responsible at all for what you feel or do
Your journey is yours
My journey is mine
I’ll meet you just the same at the end of time
Worry and guilt
Worry and guilt
God does not indulge in these so I QUIT!
