A poem about Integrity

A poem about Integrity

 

The answers to your questions 

You have to find within

The truth is for the seeking

And first you must begin

Take a different attitude

To the things that they propose

Choose the most appropriate thing

Before resentment grows

They want you to abide by

The conventions that are in place

But you've got to be at one with

What you see in your own face

You've got to find a niche or nook

In which to invest time

Passion too and discipline

So your creations do align

Examine your own morals

From whence did they arrive

Are you sure that they are what you need

To make your bright light shine

You do not have to be the same

As everyone before

You do not have to feel a guilt

Or shame, you can ignore

Be your own creation

Style your health yourself

Embrace the inner anxiety

Say it how you felt

Be true, build an integrity

Always pay back debts

Build a personality

That no one can upset

Re: A poem about Integrity

@Jynx we have a poetry thread?

The sound of hurried footsteps

go rushing through the air

while this mad electrician

hastily heads over there

all the while pondering

what words of wisdom to share

(made up on the fly, sorry if it made some cry)

 

Don't ask me to make a Haiku
