Conviction Poems

Out of the Bowl

Stigma shining out

The light of day,

Pallid and prompted

By properties sway.


Satisfactory glory

Of fitting the bill.

One's boots to shine,

Shoes needing fill.


Tell me who I am,

In case I don't know.

Label me fable with

Your cause and show.


Example of failure?

Success by your hand!

You heap adulation

If I take your stand.


Yet there you waiver

Inside your own head

Extreme echo of voices,

Correct and purebred.


The air of confusion

In finding your mind,

Questioning rudeness

Of rhythm and rhyme.


Properly pointing won't

Bring you to whole

'Till you know who you are

And swim out of the bowl.
