My Self Worth

My Freedom Was taken Not by someone From within myself Relinquished by just me Drowned by my own selfishness Provoked by order for others Lies told to myself to save others Though, I protected my fears and self worth

Much to think about here--about choices/about life in general. Nice use of this challenging form. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for your kind words on mine. Have a good day! Karen

Very wise words, but your introspective writes always make me think you are too harsh in judging yourself, Cecil. If only you could see yourself the way I see you. Love, Carolyn
