Proverbs 25:28  A person without self-control    is like a city with broken-down walls. 

 Never mind. I don’t care ... that’s how I feel?

Is this a devil’s snare ... for it really does appeal?

A shield of my making ... to hide what is real?

Do I feel sorry about my life as I wheel and deal?

I don’t want to know when I‘m so at ease.

Why am I so satisfied when I do what I please?

I don’t want to know ... for I will not appease

Time will surely tell ... as I diminish or increase

If I find an answer ... it will be on my knees

As I slowly crumble and get into a squeeze

My heart is longing to depart from the deep-freeze

Where it has been by choice ... only self to please
