DISCERNMENT

Drama-filled can’t abide drama-free

Busy can’t stand content

Nosy is livid because you care less

What you said, is what you meant

Trouble is troubled that you don’t fret

Worry wants you to weep

Inconsiderate expects you to pick up every cross

So you, too, can lose focus and sleep.

Controlling goes ape when you hold your own reins

Needy hates your other friends

Bossy thinks its way should always be yours

Messy prays conflicts don’t end

Competitive can’t safely run its own race

For looking to see where you are

Bully shows up to intimidate

Critic won’t deem you a star

Insecure expects you to shrink and play dumb

Relegates you to one lane

Envy throws enough shade to block out the Sun

Hate hopes you’ll never shine again.

The joy is, discernment exposes them all

Lets you see all that you need to see

So that you can maneuver the ditches and darts

And sail safely to victory.
