SUNDAY THOUGHTS: POETRY PROMPT—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.
