LivingMyTruth in Poetry & Free Verse

Standing

Again

I stand

Superficial walls collide

Against my Free Spirit

I can thrust them

From my existence

But I obeyed the frivolous lie

So this lack of initiative

Acquitted compulsion

And incarcerated my Free Will

Again

I stand

Words of wisdom

Emerge from my Intuition

I can apply them

To my existence

But I obeyed the frivolous lie

So this lack of conscience

Exonerated fear

And incriminated my courage

Again

I stand

Perfect opportunities

Vouch for my Ideal Dream

I can seize them

Beyond my existence

But I obeyed the frivolous lie

So this lack of ambition

Condoned stoic idleness

And condemned my determination

Again

...

Again

I stood

And again

I remained standing

Convoluted emotions

Deflected my rationality

And convinced me

To seek pessimism

So the truth confronted me

In the midst of my subconscious contradiction

And demystified the Fallacy that

“I was passive”

When inexorable realities

Revealed my aggression

After the Fallacy

Renounced its dominion

I defied that frivolous lie

Yet such endeavors

Devitalized me

I wheezed

For the desperate air

That inflamed my delicate veins

And proximately exhausted an ultimate breath

Until Resilience

Oxygenated my tenacity

And added frictional force to my journey

Accelerating

Refutation

Justice

Passion

And Conviction

As I walk
