Writing down my thoughts
I Journal them in code
Keeping secrets to myself
watching this mind erode
In courage and sincerity
It doesn’t always turn out right
When approaching a truthful account
We sometimes cower in its sight
Yet we must come to terms
With the failures from our past
Whether we confront them head-on now
Or whether we allow them to fester and last
What we tend to follow
Is what we tend to believe
How we write it down
Relies on what we preconceive
Consider reading your journal
From twenty years ago
How do you fare?
Did you eat crow?
Memory and cognitive dissonance
Shows written word as evident
Have you ever really changed?
Is this why you are so petulant?
Finding out about yourself
From another self of the past
Isn’t really a bad thing
Did you live up to the forecast?
