I just made a difficult decision
Ensuing stout dissonant cognition

Almost victim of my inner fire
The intense attraction of desire

In time, I got saved by the Golden Rule
Preventing me from becoming a fool

A palingenesis of the mind
Ex post facto being realigned

Overpowered by a feeling of joy
Relieved I had avoided this decoy

Honesty prevailed by timely outweigh
The thought, I became aware of today

Like a flower being slowly unfurled
Gently exposing the self to the world
