i hold myself accountable
to my highest nature
not to anyone else
but i strive to hold myself to account
to the highest values
i can imagine
some of those are
truthfulness
understanding
honour
appreciation
compassion
and a genuine care for all life

i don’t need anyone else
to wave the flag at me
although sometimes it may help

no, i actively want to grow
into a mighty and humble warrior
who cares for the world
and everything in it

and the only way that can happen
is by holding myself accountable
to trail blazing beauty and love.
