Failed Honesty
Head spins around
Proud logical fool
We all end up old
Being vanity’s tool
Comfort in arms
Piece of mind
It’s not what is given
Nor asked for most times
Truth comes from lies
If you think better still
Experience answers
Vetting one’s will
Rambling on…
Through the course of my day
Wasting fond moments
Discard silly games
Complexly constricted
Lovelorn, conflicted
Only one life
Best just to live it
While we are not random
Powerless things
Moments will raze us
Down to our knees
What people don’t get
No matter how smart they be
We live to regret
Failed honesty

Response to “Failed Honesty”
who do we ever lie to, except ourselves?
if we only realize cover are but mirrors
to the ones who wear them
i kneel myself to tears
shamed by my own contempt
wonder if i ever will need the mirror no more
what will it take then, for my heart
to see now another person; another soul
not a troll; nor an audience
what life awaits me, on the other side of this mountain…?

Thank you so much, Sharon. You’ve responded to my literal “failure to be honest” in unique microblog-stanzas of soul-searching impact.
