I seek validation
In the anonymous
In the cursory embrace
Of a society
Who by its very design
Parries distinction
*
What right have I
To speak of instinct
When I force
My prophetic bones
Into the sleeves
Of a disingenuous mold?
*
What right have I
To speak when my words,
Masticated
In a communal maw,
Lack the integrity
To illicit change?

Seriously cool – very true and insightful of the hypocrisy we all carry within! š š
Awww thank you Helen!
societal expectations. dark and beautiful!
Thanks so much Sophie sometimes society can be very scary
and unforgiving too
It really can
Well done Yves, I really like this poem and the ending, the use of ‘integrity’ adding such meaning to the conclusion.
Thank you so much Michael
So powerfull, the second verse kicks quite a mindpunch.
I love that kicks quite a mindpunch thank you!
This is true. To me, it points at not only society, but how we think about / approach society, how we think about / “deal with” ourselves, and self-sabotage, self-importance, and lazy introspection. Maybe I’m making false assumptions or reading myself into your work, but either way, I like this. Somehow, in the end, I found it to be forgiving. Sorry, I am stream-of-emotidumping here.
No thank you for your incredibly insightful comment =)
