Yes, introspection- a soul-searching quest;
deep self-analysis explored throughout.
Sincere reflection, which gets put to test;
discovered, judged- may sometimes offer doubt.
Of virtues found, lamentable or grand,
this self-examination's tough to do;
perhaps because conclusions will demand
we must amend the faults that come to view.
With deep perusal- reckoning may show
inequities of self- down deep inside;
and so, addressed or not- we'll truly know
the weaknesses and strengths that coincide.
But, sweeping out the darkness, lessens strife;
casts light upon more happiness in life.
