Introspection
Inner eye now keenly observes obscure corners. There’s
No fooling this steely auditor.
Truths smothered should now be spoken. No more of those
Rhetoric excuses and aspersions.
Out in the open with guilt and confession. I can’t
Shy away anymore from my vices and quirks.
Purging my innards of external stimuli while I
Explain my actions wrapped in a cocoon of myself.
Controlling my mind from wandering distant valleys and oceans, I’m simply
Trusting the unbiased principles imbibed in childhood to be my guide.
Ignoring the urge to cheat and pass with flying colors this
One moral exam I inflict on myself to
Nurture and cleanse my soul.
