Were I to never think before I act,
Misfortune would abound incessantly.
My reason is what keeps my life intact.

It’s what I hold most dear in life, in fact
I know what poor decisions there could be
Were I to never think before I act.

In everything, I exercise great tact;
And never risk unnecessarily
My reason is what keeps my life intact.

Yet often trivial matters will distract—
I lose control; I would more frequently,
Were I to never think before I act.

Despite my flaws, their negative impact,
I never let them get the best of me.
My reason is what keeps my life intact.

So highly do I value this abstract
Because I’d surely face calamity
Were I to never think before I act.
My reason is what keeps my life intact.


Hello to anyone who stumbles upon this poem. Finally, I am going to get involved in this community after months of having an account and not posting any comments or uploads. I am not sure how much of the poetry on this site is explicitly furry-related, but I hope that I will be able to post my poetry here regardless of how non-furry it might be. I will do what I can to upload as regularly as possible, though my university studies will have priority.
For anyone who is interested, I am imposing a poetry challenge upon myself, and I need your help; visit my userpage for the details.
Also, as I am still inexperienced with this site, any advice anyone could give me regarding it would be very helpful.
Constructive criticism is appreciated.
