my biggest accuser
points the finger
at my pride
my inflexibility
my belief
in the rightness of me

my biggest accuser
whispers in my ear
about my selfishness
my smugness
and my neglect
of the things that matter

my biggest accuser
knows just what buttons
to push
to deflate my joy
to bring me down to earth
with a thud

but the problem is
I can’t shut out my biggest accuser
I can’t just walk away
and not listen

because my biggest accuser
is me
