Honesty, It's all I mostly know
A lot of people thnk my writing is honest
As you know, I don't sugar coat much
It's usually out there, blunt, no filter, direct
The truth is easy to write, no fabrication , cold fork reality
Ironically
When I was younger, the truth often got me in trouble
In real life one must learn to couch the truth
Tell it in a way that doesn't hurt
When I started working in outside sales
My boss proclaimed "Lying is Good"
It would be years before I understood the message
He was trying to say "Sometimes you have to lie to protect"
Everday there's so much people noise
A celebrity sneezes and it goes viral
I come here to spread my gospel
Writing poems, hoping my soap box doesn't collapse

You're a classic, Poet. I think DU would collapse in part without your soapbox.

I heard someone say...something along the lines of....tell the truth, but tell it slant. And I think that applies to you.

The truth is good if it doesn't smell like a can of cat food left outside in the sun to long
You mean that kind of slant ??

I enjoy reading your poetry. They are raw and genuine no sugar coating to make it flamboyant. Easily digestible and hits home.
I think one can be honest or more honest in writing than in speaking. Written words can be taken and interpreted differently.

Thanks Summer
The direct approach is all I know.
I leave pretty writing to those who are good at it. Sometimes I have to google their words, they are over this cowboy’s head ....

I love the last line in this. For me it offers a moment of reflection, as I’m well into the been there done that phase of my life. In one moment I’m grateful and happy with my journey thus far, the next, I’m borderline manic depressive wondering ... Does anybody give a shit about what I’ve done, what I’ve said? ...

Thanks so much Lo
You've done so much, I've followed your journey from afar
I just try to stay humble within all the poem speak
It's easy to get ahead of yourself and then have to walk it back
Think I will be posting on that soon, you've given me an idea
I appreciate you Lo
Thank you

It also reflects our upbringing. Sometimes I find that usually pents up the aggression, when the words are stuck at the dam and then damned when it breaks. Always better to speak the truth, some can't handle it, but it's good to grow thick skin.
Excellent write sir.

When that dam breaks it’s pretty nasty, agree, move it out and move it on
