There are times in life ,that you will be angry, and want to fight.
You didn’t consider another perspective, you thought you were right.
You mind is closed, and you do not want to hear the other side.
You feel you are the sheriff, and it’s your law, they must abide.
You are combative, because you feel disrespected, and not heard.
You feel that how you were treated, was ridiculous and absurd.
You think you’ll feel better when you get things off your mind.
The golden rule doesn’t apply to you, you have an axe to grind.
You start to run your mouth, and are saying things, you regret.
For the other people involved, this isn’t something, to forget.
When you’ve said your peace, your body language tells it all.
Your arms are crossed, and you feel a tightness, in your jaw.
Sometimes you perceive a threat, that isn’t even really there.
You can’t communicate clearly and are not really self-aware.
You let fear and frustration, get the better of you this time.
After reflecting, you know it was you, that was out of line.
THE RULES DON’T APPLY
Nick Shockney, the current CCPS Assistant Superintendent broke the law and it was covered up. This poem odd to blow the whistle on this behavior and hold him accountable for his actions, once and for all B
PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY
If I see a six, and you see a nine; No perspective, needs a redefine. Perspective, lies in the beholder. Each is found, above the shoulder.
FREE TO LIBERATE
Every American has the liberty to simply choose. Too many give that right up, for too many views. Your choice might not be the same, as my choice. Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.
CENSORING MY VOICE
Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you. My opinions are many, they are not just a few. How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated? The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.
EFFORT ITSELF
Any effort starts with the decision to just try. Effort requires energy, for us to then apply. A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain. The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.
GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE
It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge. You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge. All of the future is blurry because of the past. They blur together, as time has then amassed.
THE COLORS WE ALL SEE
You will always see color, and me, will just the same. Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe. Color is something, we all see, with some emotion. The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart. First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart. Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start. Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.
PARENTS AS ARTISTS
When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate. They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate. Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art. No formula or directions are given, right from the start.
