Preservation
Of Thine Self - 'Unscramble Challenge'
If there is no venerator for myself
Then I shall be my own riveting riveter
To reorient
To that which I resonate with
As continuing down the same pathway perverts
Individuation, Remediation, causing a reversion
Which continues to make me a servant
That lacks the nerve to catalyze changes
As I've eaten my fill continuing to repeat
The same tropes,
Failing to repent
Forcing myself to starve
By losing focus on the main operative
Remaining in an environment that will perpetually restrain
Me, as my strong ingenuity has been overspent
Resisting this restrictive serpent
Yet, it I were to relax, easing away, to reinvest
My energy to renovate who I wish to become and what I wish to do
The satire isn't lost on me, transforming into humility, as I revise
Escaping like a sprinter, as mental votaries
Elect that the best of myself, for myself, needs its sacred reservation

Oooo, I liked this a lot!! In fact, I loved it! You really used the words in such a way that they fit so seamlessly together. And the theme was actually quite deep. You brought your A game with this one, my friend :)
Impressive entry with such varied words, all connecting into the main word!
Oooo, I learnt two new words from your poem, venerator and votaries! These are my favourite lines: "Remaining in an environment that will perpetually restrain Me, as my strong ingenuity has been overspent Resisting this restrictive serpent"
I had to go back and check the source word, and then the whole thing tumbled into line. Brilliant.
Fabulously written🌹
Fantastic!! Fabulous performance poem!!!💕❤️❤️
A motto to live by and strive for. Well done
