internal struggles
Vanity is no sanity: reclaim your dignity.
“For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” Romans 7:19 (KJV)
question not my quandary
when indignant flames
all-consume your vanity.
i shall soon regain
perfect equanimity,
while you drown in shame.
vile is your virility,
though you feel no pain;
utter your profanity,
though you take no blame.
here’s a word for sanity:
peace it shall reclaim.
evil your proclivity,
naught your remnant gain;
i shall keep my dignity,
lest i live in vain.

Thanks for your generous observations, PlaydateWithFire.
I suppose by "verse" you mean the quotation, in which case, you've hit the nail on the head, as far as tone is concerned.
I'm glad you enjoyed the read. The praise belongs to God for enabling me through His gift.

Aww, such a sweet comment!
Thank you, flower; you put a lot of time into encouraging the writers you follow as well as those who come fresh on the scene.
Come to think of it, I recall that my very first DU comment came from you when I was just a "strange creature" on this site.
I appreciate your purple love and hugs.
