Naked


Words
laid bare.
Stripped
of illusion.
The author
says what
he means.
No allegory
or metaphor.
He dances to
no tune
played by others.
The words
he writes
are not written
to appease.
Refusing
to trust
his thoughts.
He writes raw.
Accepting
the truth

of his words.
Seeing

the lies
he lays at
his feet.
Knowing

he has
to accept

them
as he opens
the door

to

light.

    That is honesty that you write about. Not writing for others approval but for your own. Yes, it's good to see the truth, for only then can we speak the truth.
