My words, they tend to paralyze,
And come out some-what rude,
Pre-warned, I still apologize when I appear  uncouth,
Intentions not to hurt  my fellow man,
Though the results remain the same,
One thing  they forgot to say about truth,
Is with it might come pain.

Well, they say truth hurts. But it doesn't always have to be said. Then again, we all have our flaws. Straight up write. Write some more.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

You know of course it's not what is said but who is saying it.....

Once you are known for being honest people tend to accept that you will tell the truth.

On the other hand there is a not so nice name for (esp when agreeing with those who appear to be of higher position) people who are overly nice.

I errr on the not so diplomatic side and call a trout a trout

I have always tried to remember that to me

lies=fear

I very rarely lie. I like me better that way.

I liked this piece of poetry Ms. (I assume?) Stormy.

"too bad ignorance isn't painful"

yes, Stormy is my name. I use the name Michi Shenshu in my sig at my oldest daughters suggestion. Translated it means Unknown Player. Nice to meet you. I am looking forward to seeing some of your work.

I love this! IT (truth-telling) is an 'affliction' I am cursed with. Whenever I avoid 'truth' in order to 'protect' another it back-fires; then my conscience suffers endless bombardments and 'storms'!

I know the feeling all to well. I find myself apologising alot for telling the truth. You would be suprised how many out there simply can't handle it.
