Integrity Untouched

Clawed my way out of deep
and devastating holes,
been disembowelled
by diabolical acts,
choked on craven impulses,
blinded by revenge, but
character overrides spite,
grateful integrity intact.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by VJ

I appreciate the acknowledgement of character and integrity in overcoming the wrongs that have been done to us, whether by others or by ourselves.

It takes so much more work to not fall into the easy route of revenge. Well said!
