Talking to my conscience

The vivid realities of this condemnatory world

Morrow, they will issue a roster of my deeds

I read that blether and console myself for the good

Will there ever be a correct way of doing things?

Morrow, they will issue a roster of my deeds

I look deeply in the mirror and my conscience speaks

Will there ever be a correct way of doing things?

Always being weighed is a part of this trajectory

I look deeply in the mirror and my conscience speaks

You are doing good so let them rejoice in their reveries

Always being weighed is a part of this trajectory

A moment here, a speck there it will go on till eternity

You are doing good so let them rejoice in their reveries

I read that blether and console myself for the good

A moment here, a speck there it will go on till eternity

The vivid realities of this condemnatory world

The poetry challenge by Tree Langdon inspires this poem. Thank you for offering a different poetic form, Pantoum. I loved taking it!!!

I have learnt to be in a happy space since I started penning down my perspective as a poet and a writer.
