It Is Not Life But Myself Poem by Francis Duggan

When i am in the dark mood that borders despair
I say to myself life to me is unfair
But later in a reflective mood it occurs to me
That it is not life that creates my reality
For my own reality i only have myself to blame
Low self esteem never leads one to wealth and fame
For me decisions life does never make
Responsibility for my living circumstances i myself have to take
As the wise one does say life does not owe us a thing
And self pity a change in luck to you never does bring
The one who blames life when financially down
Will never become the wealthiest one in the town
I tend to blame life for my dark moods bordering despair
But is is not life but myself that to me is unfair.
