Pillows and Mirrors, safe or not?

Question

Reflections

In the morn’ when you arise

Push the night’s thoughts from your eyes

Clear your mind and your voice

Now’s the time to make a choice

How will you behave today?

Will you live in a righteous way?

Will your thoughts be of no other?

Or will you think about your brother?

As you cleanse your soul your face

And check into the human race

Remember that it’s up to you

To choose the right thing to do

Go through your day with an open heart

You’ll find it is the perfect start

There’s only one you’ll be deceiving

Look in the mirror and begin believing

And when we lay down to rest

There is yet another test

Echoing loudly with refrain

Thoughts that rumble through your brain

Did we get it right today?

How justly did the game I play?

Or was my day just a ruse?

Did I seek to mislead and confuse?

Were my intentions just and right?

Can I close my eyes so tight?

Look so deep so deep inside

Knowing that I truly tried

Answer 1

I LOVE IT! I ACTUALLY GOT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.... WOW!

That`s how we know it`s good. I already expressed how I been feeling about the long poems on here, but this one is my type of poem.

It has benefits! I can`t find the right word to say what I want to say.... Sorry my English vocab sucks. I speak, read and write 3 languages (luckily) but I am not as fluent as many of you in English vocab.

Are you religious? Christian? Muslim? What you write about makes me assume that you may be.

I look forward to reading your other postings soon.

Have a good day!

Answer 2

Amen and kudos

Answer 3

Living each day trying your best to do the right thing and having compassion for everyone, including yourself, is the journey we must all make each day in order to call the pillow friend at the end of the day.  I think you express that so eloquently and with such understanding.  I love the content of this poem, the meaningful message, but I also love the form. It is so very well written.  Thank you.
