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

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.

Dear Shava

"I could actually write a book on my experiences in the legal field.  I have seen quite a bit and it still haunts me even after 5 years of not working in a law firm."

Sounds to me like you should apply that old judo trick of using motion against you to your advantage - DO write that book, in a highly (allegedly) fictional style, full of satire and wit, from the viewpoint of "it isn't really this bad, folks .....", while knowing full well that it is. Best seller !

That would exercise the ghosts, probably exorcise them as well.
