Am I a poet or do I work for a lawyer?

What am I, I ask,
what is underneath this mask?

Is it deception or truth, in what I owe,
or am I just a musing soul, to all who know?

All those shredded papers, I no longer see,
it is apparent, I have left them, for now I am me.

What about extra money, I could bank right now?
No thank you, I would rather, be working as a clown.

Years of lies and deceit, haunting words such as "sue,"
thank God, up above, for my conscience to leave you!

I write down my feelings, and remember before,
quiet moments of reflection, lawyer's arrogance, no more.

My lesson to make changes, is here for all to
view, poets do live forever, pondering thoughts, old and new.

Here - I would an ellispe...
What am I... I ask,
what is underneath this mask?


Is it deception or truth, in what I owe,
or am I just a musing soul, *to all who know?
*for all to know?

All those shredded papers, not for me to see,
it is apparent, I have left them, for now I am me.

What about extra money, I could bank right now?
No thank you, I would rather*, be working as a clown.
*No comma after rather. Perhaps, i would rather be a working clown?

Years of lies and deceit, haunting words such as "sue,"
thank God*, up above, for my conscious to leave you!
*No comma after God. 'left you'?

I write down my feelings, and remember before,
quiet moments of reflection, lawyer's arrogance, no more.

My lesson to make changes, is here for all to view,
poets do live forever, pondering thoughts, old and new.

nicely said!

I remember your sis telling me about your old job.....
It's always neat to let your 'muse' recollect what we know....

Great job! dance.gif
