Instinct Poem by broken jar of clay

INSTINCT...
Is it a gift?
Is it a curse?

When instinct tugs...
Does one yield?
Or does one shield?

When instinct beckons...
Does one follow?
Or does one swallow?

When instinct provokes...
Does one take up the challenge?
Or choose to choose ignorance?

If my instinct i trust...
Will that be just?
Or impending damage a must?

I'm not sure....So far as i've trusted my instincts,
They have failed me greatly.
