I saw the signs,
and heeded them
in the end.
Learning to trust my own judgement
has been the hardest lesson in life,
because
I cannot take pride
in proving myself right.
I see the hands of justice
in the choices we make,
followed by a brief swell of righteousness
that is quelled by a sharp memory
of my own Karmic history;
Bringing me a little closer
to full understanding
of the cycle of retribution and it’s momentum,
and how compassion
for your lessons
will help me
fully concede my own…
