Everyday Self-Aware

When I am challenged and surprised, faced with two faced masks in disguise
When faced with peeves, like eyes that pry, or pet hates like rudeness and lies

I maintain my cool, move in stealth, retain a relaxed steady breath
I look after my mental health, my cool, my peace for that's my wealth

In life I'll always be challenged, if hurt ignore thoughts to avenge
Instead observe, take notes and learn, assess, reflect, think and discern

It pays to always be aware of self and treat one's self with care
For no challenge's too much to bear, so for all things I'll stay prepared.
