False Evidence Appearing Real |

False Evidence Appearing Real Negative voices heard Coming from somewhere Inside that fear rejection. Personal opinions scattering Doubt and ill will play old tapes That harm all known goodness. Sounds that scare senses And shut down reality. Ideas that are tainted In a mind that can't trust. Accusations abound With past memories That blemished a soul. Words that attack And leave no room For forgiveness. False evidence Appearing real, But unfounded. The mind is a Terrible thing To waste.. Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |

Good write, glad you left that place. It's freeing somehow to walk in sun. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Mabe..I thank you for holding my hand and pulling me out of the pot-hole I was in and to say I am grateful to you would be a great understatement. I love you, my sister. Kate Shalom ***** Sven.. thank you for your thoughts. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Kate Blessings ******* Bernie, thank you, thoughts that scream to come out need a voice. Thanks for listening. Kate Blessings Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |
