incorrigible

Author: gnj4u

Incorrigible, ‘tis said am I!
Perhaps, but I am wondering
which adjective definition
to apply to determine
what is my condition.

beyond correction, bad
impervious to constraints, me?
or, firmly fixed, not easily changed
as a habit bad or good can be.
Should I be rearranged?

Not easily swayed or influenced
I would find most pleasing
but since I don’t know your intent
my sincere concerns, not relieving
on the road to perdition, bent.

I think this can apply to all, leading to perdition or not. I also believe one may (only may) change her-/himself despite themselves if they find an ideal human or cause in whom they may see themselves and for whose sake they may live on.

Incorrigible maybe said you are
but to consider self rearanging one
must be aware of intent.
clever

I loved this, but I would not rearange myself for anyone but myself. Thats what I read, a bit different from your writing but great

Incorrigible, in a good sense, not easily swayed or influenced you are, finding it pleasing, until the time when his intent is to change your life dramatically, so that he takes half of your burden and you don't have to hide behind your self-supporting wall. Eventually we get tired of being too self-sufficient when confronting life and need someone to lend a helping hand. Enjoyed the poem, thank you very much for it.

Speak so well of many lives.

Hi, nabii,
Yes. Words that can mean different things depending on the context in which they are used always make for interesting conversations on intent. Thank you for reading and commenting.
