try not to make a mess…

if you are determined,
bound and determined,
to disregard
disrespect
dismiss
the life that you own,
get a room
far away
and write a long note
saying “sorry, I love you,
but I hate myself more.”
dammit
you made a mess.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.”― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
Not angry at all, Joe. The only one I work on is myself.
Might sound weird but, this is one of my favorites.
