Fuckup, again (new poem)

When I eat too much late at night I don't sleep well. This poem is the result of my latest .

FUCKUP, AGAIN

Yeah, you fucked up, again
It would have been better if you hadn't
done what you did, said what you said,
but you did
again

All you can do is start where you are
again

You can lie there in the dust,
kicking yourself in the head,
again
for having fucked up
again

or you can re-apply yourself
again
to the job of fixing whatever broken parts there are inside yourself
Rebuilding your own engine
Replacing your own dysfunctional gears,
mostly dysfunctional thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, cravings and aversions,
that don't mesh with health and happiness
Replacing them with healthy, functional parts
Useful, functional thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, equanimity
that work to create health and happiness

All you can do is start where you are
again
every moment of your life
