Integrity

I think about
How lies slip from my lips
Too easily now
And the grudges I hold
Til they weld to my bones

How I silently break off friendships
And don't give a reason
When I follow the crowd
But boast when I don't

All the things I destroy
When my temper slips
How judgments run through my head
And stick in my throat.

I'll hoard all my compliments
Like they're priceless gold

I wonder if
This means
I'm not that good of a person
Not really
