Advice to self

When you talk to your self
do you speak with respect
or do you talk yourself down
do you give what you get?

When you hear your self doubt
do you question your truth
can you not find the moral
in all you’ve been through?

When you think to your self
do you remember what is good
are you mindful of your promise
do you remember what you should?

When you listen to your self
do you take sage advice 
of someone who has been there
and knows your true life?
