Poetry & Self-Awareness

The angrier we become, the more of a monster we become
All because we cannot control our emotions & we won’t break free from our habits
Is it because we fear whom we’ll become?
We should feel terrified of who we are now
But it all seems so real, it’s kind of natural
Because that’s all we know,
that’s who we are but simply because that’s who we choose to be
When we learn how to control ourselves
The hate, the envy, the sadness, the anger
We will master ourselves
We will unleash our highest potential
But we will never reach it
until we understand
That it is a spiritual and a mental fight,
not a physical fight against anybody else,
The fight is with ourselves every single day
We choose if we are going to better ourselves
or destroy ourselves
understand that we have the power to do both
