the pettiness of self-pity

bedazzling be this morn!

as if the rains new to come and wash away

thoughts unruly, unnecessary be their stay.

a brightness,

a desire for lightness of heart,

for heaviness burdensome be not a part

of what the future does reveal

no further wish in murky uncertainty to conceal. 

when procrastination be debilitating

a false hope anticipating

yet, the mind knows the next step to take

and allow reality to wake.

to shake off the pettiness!... of self pity

every step forward purposeful and gritty!

lessons learnt held dear and near

the future faced no further fear.

wise words shared,

a 'knowingness' flared,

to wish upon oneself the best

and thus the theory put to test.
