Integrity

Poetic Dan

I can write a lot and most of the time to fast

 

But I hardly ever delete or have to think of my emotions that hard

 

My struggle is with words, something I'd failed to grasp

 

Never opened up my vocabulary to articulate myself better

 

Spent my time just using what I knew to get by

 

Now I can find better ways to describe my adventures

 

I am on a mission to show all of my true self

 

In this worlds complex way of using communication to connect

 

Like the word "integrity" what out of this do we reflect

 

I see it everyday in the animals in our dwellings

 

Yet I see fear in the ones that invented the language

 

Having special room time to help my young mind understand it

 

Maybe because there was never any validity behind it

 

For I have been blessed with a fruitfully changing life

 

Been given the looking glass from many souls eyes

 

In the words of a master I hear echoing right now

 

Bruce Lee said it was best to feel don't think

 

For once you understand your emotional intentions

 

Every word and sentence will flow from a stream to a waterfall

 

Remembering that inner voice wants us to be incredible

 

I see many suffering with I can do nothing more

 

If only they could see that there is no door

 

We get stuck in a reality we construct from a view

 

Instead of instinctively hearing what the body wants to do

 

We sacrifice our humanity for illusions of content 

 

Knowing there's another way but leave it to rest

  • Comment from author about the poem: I had a customer yesterday that really needed no help with her dog, just how to set boundaries for the humans that were telling her off. Remember no one has more power than you, even when it's family nothing has the right to belittle you. The gift of love is for us first, looking after your own heart will teach them to do the same and yes it mostly will cause pain. Sometimes in order to grow we must feel uncomfortable, to then search for the new that always been inside you!

        Ain't no integrity in me singing - it's disintegrity - disintegrated. Well, all who hear it fall to pieces, they are all in a heap, so....!
