Negativity happened yesterday
not the way I planned it
happily happily painting my house
then slipped and fell and landed
As I lay upon the hard hard earth
wondering how it hurt me
anger surfaced toward myself
considering why this could be
What fool would move the way I did
causing such an error
when I attempt to stand again
will pain ignite sheer terror
Yesterday is gone today
committed now to history
pain upon awakening
shrouded not in mystery
Time will tell if I am broken
if there is complication
but I vow to be joyful and smiling today
my uplifting incantation
We possess control of happiness
we own self placation
neither hate nor pain nor gravity
can defeat positive reiteration
