YOU KNOW

You know of the morning sun
You know the evening moon
Of a canopy of stars at night
You know of so many things
All to guide you, set you right.
 

You know when you are hungry
You know when you are not,
when feeling well or indisposed,
tired eyes require rest and sleep
awake revived, quick on your feet.
 

Do You also know your heart
are you quite certain of that,
Do you know how you feel,
why you are feeling that way,
your emotion driven feelings
not only rule and guide you,
but may help lead you astray.
 
 

Therefore stop, look at yourself
give yourself an introspective check,
what you may have thought to be so
may need to be reexamined, fine tuned,
you may have suppressed your heart's desire
causing you psychological, physical trauma,
who knows you may luck out, solve a problem
save anxiety, money, have one less pill to swallow.
