Do Not, Berate...Yourself! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Do Not, Berate...Yourself!



Be not dismayed about your setbacks.
Or your lack of control when they seem to latch.
Avoid any re-enactments,
That attempt to saddle.

Clean the slate.
Do not, berate...yourself!

Be not dismayed about your setbacks.
Or your lack of control...
When those setbacks take hold,
To ride and latch to attach.
Say no!

Why do this,
Then renew it!
Say no...
Let them go.

Refuse to have any of that.
Get those setbacks right off your back.
Decide you are not that easy ride.
Avoid any re-enactments.
That may come to saddle.
To sap and zap your well earned pride!

Remember...
There is a dignity you pride,
Invested.
You can, if wished...
Push that pride and dignity aside.
But you should dismiss this...
If you wish,
Those setbacks not to ride...
For the rest of your life!

Can you imagine...
Being further burdened,
By those freeloaders?

Do not, berate...yourself!
In a gimmick over mimicked,
With a scolding loathed.

Why do this,
Then renew it!

Do not, berate...yourself!
In a gimmick over mimicked,
With a scolding loathed.

Remember this...
There is a dignity you pride,
That has been invested.
Say No...
To that ride!

Clean the slate.
Do not, berate...yourself!

Why do this,
Then renew it!
To boo and hoo.

Do not, berate...yourself!
Why do this,
Then renew it!
To boo and hoo...

THEN renew.

Do not, berate...yourself!
No...no...no.
Do not, berate...yourself!
No...no...no.
Do not, berate...yourself!
