INTEGRITY

INTEGRITY

SOME SAY THIS IS DOING THE RIGHT THING
WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING,

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE RIGHT THING FOR ME
ISN’T WHAT YOU THOUGHT,
WHAT IF MY INTEGRITY DOESN’T FIT INTO YOUR BOX?

IS THIS DEFIANCE,
OR ME BEING SELF RELIANT
AND IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THIS WORD INTEGRITY
AND HOW IT COINCIDES WITH MY MENTALITY
WHY QUESTION MY VISION OF WHAT THIS WORD TRULY MEANS

GOOD IS GOOD
BAD IS BAD

YET THERE’S INTEGRITY IN BOTH THINGS

LACK OF UNDERSTANDING MAKES ONE BELIEVE THAT I WRITE THESE WORDS PURELY TO ENTERTAIN,
THE TRUTH IS THEY KEEP ME SANE
BECAUSE
MY BRAIN
CAN’T CONTAIN
THE STRAIN
NOR THE PAIN….

IT’S INTEGRITY ALL THE SAME.

IF I LACKED IT,
SHIT
WOULD BE TRAJIC.

    Oh, you have made quite the point here!! Is one person’s integrity another’s demise? Is intention enough to excuse us, explain us, bring understand? To our own selves and our own understanding, we must live with integrity!! What else an we go by? As we make the effort to understand, we are more understood, no?

  • hmmmmm…..this comment has the gears going…lol….you are interesting. I thank you for the compliment, and I believe it’s been a while since I have been to your page, so it’s time to make up for that.

    exquisitely said, my dear friend. so sad that being true to yourself can seem to others like such an undoing.

  • Thank you Shadow Dancer. Yeah it is sad how things are perceived sometimes. I see that you can relate. Thanks for the friendship, nice to hear from you!

    ALWAYS do what is right for you, for in that there is integrity. It’s others’ lack of such who don’t understand this. Great work my friend, great work!

  • We joke so much, I sometimes forget how to be serious with you. This is a good thing by the way. You’ve been a success at melting down all of my barriers. You are a clever one mister…and I am glad you were able to melt me down. It’s because your so “HOT” ya know….lol. thank you for the compliment…and I am truly grateful for the friendship that has developed.

    your skill always finds me at perfect times… i felt every word. i’ve been asking spoken word artists, have you recorded any podcasts? this would be hot to listen to. love to you talented one! xox

  • send me a bmail please explain what a podcast is….lately I have been in the studio, but when it comes to converting those sounds over to like mp3 files and all of that…I am like out of my league, but willing to learn, and I think it’s time that I did.
