As time starts speeding by,
We awaken to the dawning realization
— Yet again —
That most of the troubles that occupy our thoughts
At least partially result from our own foibles.
Whatever they may be,
And however they originated,
They continue to derail us,
Yet we continue to project blame
On people and situations outside of us.
It’s so disturbing to remember, yet again,
That the same traits and fears
That disabled us when we were younger
Haunt us still, though we’d hoped
That with age we would grow wise…
