The Conflicted S(h)elf of Shame

 


Does anyone really proclaim every thought
or dismiss beliefs contraire to those taught?

Judgements abound in our everyday lives
most are just preference, like cake over pie.

If I write as I feel, should I tuck it away?
a future reminder we all have those days.

When recording a moment best kept to myself
should fear of its damage earn a place on the shelf?

Are they pointless opinions I catch on the brink
having little impact lest I call out "'that stinks"?

If ignoring this thought's where my troubles begin
will "live and let live" absolve me of sin?



Life affords moments
to expose our ass
and this plays on my mind
many times when I'm asked

When do judgments/opinions become sins,
and if a sin, of which type, transgression or dereliction?
