The 8th
Promise of Debtors Anonymous states that we
will cease to compare ourselves to others;
jealousy and envy will
fade.
Owning Oneself
You own what?
Didn’t ask… yet
wondered
how did they afford
that?
If they can get it…
I can get better
I can get bigger and
newer
And most of all more
expensive
Still better than
you
I’ll have the
things to prove it
Stereos, cars,
laptops, and notebooks
Yours? New! Mine?
Superior!
I’ll give the
illusion that everything bought
is owned and is mine
No one will know
what I own
is actually owning
me
I don’t own that
new car… it owns me
monthly payments,
insurance and service
working more hours
to pay the bill
I don’t own the
latest phone or notebook… it owns me
monthly payments
have stolen the joy of it all
deep in debt…
reality hits
it doesn’t matter
what is owned… what matters is what is owed
Now I own myself
With no competition
there is no envy
Jealously is a thing
of the past
Having no debt is
freeing
No longer living a
life of stress
No longer paranoid
of phone calls or letters
Spiritually awakened
to simplicity
