(TOMORROW'S POEM)
I am getting more direct
As I deal with aging
It’s scaring me to death
But is also quite engaging
I don’t know if it’s smart
But it does remove the burden
Of this heavy bleeding heart
From my shoulder that’s been hurtin’
I told my friend I love her
But she knew that already
I told her that I want her
My words clumsy & unsteady
I don’t know what will happen
But I put honesty first
In this spaceship I will strap in
And trust the universe

I think you're in good company with the Biblical injunction (often repeated to me as a boy by my Grandma) "just let your yes be yes, and your no be no - anything beyond that is of the devil!" - said to me with relish in a Lancashire accent. Easy to remember, hard to implement. I think the modern take on this is the "radical honesty" movement.
