There are no strangers in the world Just friends we have yet to meet No dangers in the world But the lies we have to keep A truth and a lie coincide One sets us free And the other kills us inside You said it just to abide But was it real Or just a way to stay for the ride Not concerned with how I feel Going back and forth just like the tide Now what does that make you? A wishy washy flippidy floppidy Hair all moppidy Raggity ol haggity Who never lived properly Keepin the truth as your personal property I hope you don't use this template Cause you'd be living a life I call a mockery |

we are who we are, nothing we can change, we live our lives the very best way that we can...it is impossible to live up to the expectations of others, and we, theirs... that is what this spoke to me.... beautifully written... |

Truth is just the right thing to do..the other option stirs up inner conflict that eventually becomes who you are. Ugh no thank you. On the other hand we can always exercise our fifth amendment..speaking the truth does not mean we are obligated to answer everyone and every question. Silence is golden. Excellent poem.. |

But Slim? There's ways around it........ Just the other day my wife was standing in front of the full length mirror in our bedroom, and she said "look at me, everything's sagging and I've put on all these extra pounds, you've got to say something nice about me so I'll feel better!" I said, "your eyesight's perfect!!" true love never looks after it's own interests |

Honesty is sometimes based on how much truth one can tolerate. Narrow minds with hot tempers invite lies. ~L |
