A sense of self

Within my words, my wit, my grace
I have learned self-suffiency, self-help, the self-gratifying
nature of "I"
I am the owner of my thoughts
cognizant that I:
speculate
judge
idealize
scrutinize
theorize
rationalize
unintentionally create logic
from the incongruous and inconsistent
details in my life
Though my mind may be a puzzle
without a correct answer
Its self-reliant.
