Embracing Doubt pt. 1: Runaway Integrity into a Shallow Pond

in poetsunited •  7 years ago  (edited)

This is the first installment of my short series of poetry titled Embracing Doubt. Keep an eye out for future entries! A few will even have music posted with them that the poem was transformed into. I'm thinking of putting together a lyrics video and posting it on Dtube.

Anyways, enjoy....the content of this series wavers on the darker side FYI

Runaway Integrity into a Shallow Pond

Perhaps something goes sinking down
Pride as I swallow it?

As I plummet towards a celestial body
I act outside of my own principles...

My integrity suffers...but don't let a travesty go to waste
Learn from life...learn from mistakes

Fight the shallowness.

I will keep fighting shallowness ..short and apt..

Man... you got a lot of imagery into this one short piece... that's a craft in itself.

Learn from life...learn from mistakes

This was the message for me.. don't let learning opportunities go unused!

Great work man!

Thanks for the kind words.

@shawnsporter,

Good insight and good advice.

Fight the shallowness.

We decide for ourselves.
