For the sake of etiquette We speak the opposite of truth For the sake of etiquette We project an air of confidence For the sake of etiquette We play the part of those, others Project us to be Then we retreat into our castles Hoping the walls don't have eyes Then we sit down and Politely fall apart Positively politically correct. Still dreaming real people Don't fart |

right on! we spend so much time pretending to be something we are not that we often forget who we really are..gotta chuckle!! the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Hi; AKA...So sad, but true. I've learned over the years that being myself is the most beautiful gift I can give to myself and to others, but I can well remember when this was true of me. Love, ellie P.S. beautiful writing as always!!! Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Ahh.. I'd have to agree with the previous posts.. Those four lines really speak of real life. I enjoyed the touch of humor at the end. Welcome to the pub. Always, Broken Winged Angel. |

Wow I really liked this poem! Especially the last line but not because it's ......well you know......but i liked it due to the meaning of it all. Pure......real pure. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
