Concerning Character

There’s Who I am, What I’ve done,  And Where I want to be. And how I choose to view them each  Sets their priority. Just saying this is Who I am  Excusing What I’ve done Means Where I want to be remains The place where I’ve begun But if I say that What I’ve done shapes Who I am complete Then Where I want to be becomes A goal I cannot meet Yet knowing Where I want to be Without the other two Will leave me lost and wandering In deserts I’ve gone through Let What I’ve done be marker stones On pathways within me That guide me up  from Who I am  To Where I want to be 10/16/22 ER: Enlightenment Recovery Poetry Contest
