The importance of being earnest Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

The importance of being earnest
How universal it may be
Thunderbolts it struck me
as I yet again wanted to flee
Flee from what I wanted, what I needed
Flee from my own me.

Infinite postponing of one's true desires
creates a pending suspension. No
not suspension, just plain tension
forget the pending, it hacked my inner well - being.

I thought it brave to turn to masochist
I thought it wise to turn to deprivation
I though I was thinking and yet I was not
I was scared to hear my own voice
Society oppressed me, my reputation reigned supreme

Perhaps the external has a point
But my own essence need not be neglected
It needs affection, attention, adherence
The importance of being real is the real topic I would say
To love and to live is my current mission I tell pray

Thank you emancipation
Thank you reality
Thank you love
Thank you earnest
Thank you myself

The poet has spoken!!! Indeed, it's an absolute write from the deepest fibres of your being. It speaks of fear within fearlessness, it's at the heart of true experience, thumbs up!!!
