Watch What’s Working On You

Watch What’s Working on You

We read a book and we identify

Ourselves with a character there;

We watch a movie and see in ourselves

Something that we see in a role there, too.

Some ideas, characteristics, way of thinking

And even the feelings that they feel

Unknowingly become a part of us -

And when we hold on to them for a time,

They’re sealed.

What we read and watch changes us

And the change is not necessarily good;

Our views and positions change in life

And we forget the place where we once stood.

Change and influences are not necessarily bad either

But if they happen without our choice,

In a way we become controlled

And begin to lose our own unique voice.

Most changes and influences are for a time

Before others creep up on us -

We swing pendulum-like towards many ends,

And our days become filled with meaningless fuss.
