Taking A Look Inside

Should a man dare to look within?
Search secret places of hidden sin?
The lack of which could be exhilarating,
But those long loss, debilitating.

Even those revealed can be a gift,
Confession, forgiveness, they could give a lift.
Or an insight into his authenticity,
Could open his eyes that he might see.

Through the illusion, that’s led him astray,
Guiding him back to his intended way.
Leading to personal responsibility,
Helping him become all he can be.

All men have sinned, falling short of perfection,
Often frustrated by their illusionary perception.

your sonnet is exquisite, insightful, and provides a great deal of truth. We all do ourselves a favor by having the courage to look inside....to see ourselves as imperfect diminishes the ego. Well done, mein Schatz!
