Life is better when I stay in my lane
As Byron Katie says again and again..
When I don’t…..I cause great pain
To those around me and my own domain
I get resentful and start to complain
I tend to over do and overstrain
In how I work and think
At the gym I overtrain
I even tend to over explain
I take on the outdated adage of no pain no gain!
But that’s a big lie that I no longer wish to entertain
It does no good
It simply causes my energies to drain
More access to all parts of me..
No matter how mundane
Love all humans in a manner humane
What I need to practice moment by moment
Is how to contain
Contain is not the same as repress, avoid, or even restrain
I’ve surely confused it before with detain
It’s a new practice for me..
Learning a new way of how to maintain…
My peace in myself and the world
As it is..without going insane!
I then utter languages and words profane
It’s like on a wildfire pouring propane
I’ve gotten so angry-almost burst a vein
This lesson of staying in my own lane
Is certainly like treading on new terrain
A new way of being I can attest and ascertain
It is certainly easier said than done
Some days I’m waxing, and then I wane
I’m hoping to learn before I need to walk with a cane
I have fabulous people in my life who can show me the way
And who can help me to sustain
My growth and allow me to gain
Access to my freedom and ascertain
What is vital and what no longer needs to remain
It’s taken me a lifetime and my move to Spain.
It’s definitely helped me by getting out of the rain
A new perspective-a gift to my brain.
Changing the old patterns that hung on like a ball and a chain
I’m on a new campaign
To stay on my proper track-as a train
Only in my Queendom can I properly reign
Let’s celebrate together with a glass of champagne
