VALUES HIGH <br /> <br />And so I run from trickery <br />From those who say they’re friends <br />Yet throw their dignity away <br />While lost adrift in pain <br /> <br />And then I hear how I’ve been hit <br />Between the shoulder blades <br />They never heard the music sweet <br />Or danced in synergy <br /> <br />My goals and dreams and values high <br />Are scorned as not for them <br />‘No-one can meet such fortitude <br />Amidst the driving rain’ <br /> <br />Of course we all will fail and fall <br />But try we must always <br />To find congruence in this world <br />Where faith’s a travesty <br /> <br />And strive for being all we can <br />When mundane’s all around <br />To shine when driven to the ground <br />When dreams are down the drain <br /> <br />Seeing still within a flame <br />Nothing stills the glow <br />Innate as breath entwined with life <br />Pure integrity<br /><br />tess fielders<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/values-high/
