It Is Upon My Own Mind

Upon my own mind,
Do I lay my own faults...
Hopes and dreams!
And failures to overcome.

Upon my own mind,
Do I gather the strength...
To pull myself away,
From those frustrations.

Upon my own mind,
Do I find time...
To appreciate myself.
With a forgiving of my mistakes.

And it is upon my own mind,
Do I motivate myself...
To correct false steps.
And express a thankfulness,
To be blessed to self examine.

And...
If I have done wrong,
I will admit it.
Before those wrongs done,
Have been noticed.
