Sincerity

Sincerity

I replaced my heart with my brain,

But the switch was no different

Because the pain of love

And the thoughts remain the same.

This is as real as it gets.

Not as,

No regrets,

And never to forget.

There’s a lot of pain that comes with feeling good

And sometimes that pain can make it hard to believe that you can feel

As good.

What am I going to be?

Where have I been?

Will I be strong?

Well you see it’s not wrong to do what my heart wants

Because my heart never got the chance to do

What I wanted.

I’m not wanting to live my life in a swamp,

Not wanting to be on top,

But just wanting to be me

Without the talk of those closest.

Allow me to strike a pose

For you to view and take notes,

But without you getting to know...

You will never know what my heart holds

And has in stored.

My heart is my sword,

So I’ll live by it and die by it.

‘Till then,

I’ll just write about it.

I’m embracing my faith

And that my life will one day be history

And there’s no misery.

It’s all peace,

No greed,

And no needs,

But to be happy!

My eyes have seen sorrow,

But I glorify the beauty of life as a witness

Of the first breath of a new born baby!

My worst enemy is me,

What a journey,

And life?

Will not be eternity...

And this is all sincerity!

You've gathered all your genuine feelings and mixed it into one poem, creating a delicious vinaigrette (eh...in English it's a salad dressing, but for us Russians it is a salad haha). But one resounding emotion takes flight here and that is to be happy! To be the way you want to be, to believe in what you want to believe, to love the way you want to love...and that means to be happy.

Yes exactly! That is what matters in the end. I love how you have summed up my poem.
Thank you so much Nadia.
It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

Fantastic... yes to be just you. Its funny how simple that should be but it never is . So many people put in their two cents (even well intended) it can wear you down
"Allow me to strike a pose
For you to view and take notes", perfectly explains that to me anyway.

"my worst enemy is me" so very true!!
another great write SweetSin

WOW Beautiful work. Nicely described the TRUTH! It's true sometimes we feel so much sorrow or feel so unsecured that we don't know we can be Happy. Take LOVE as an Example. It's True that "Love hurts whether it's wrong or right" ... And with every happiness comes a sorrow, and sorrow is followed by Happiness 'Cause there is always sunshine after rain :)) ... ... And I love the feelings where You have said that You don't want to be on top, just want to be Yourself.. Love it! :) Great work!

This is a beautiful self-proclamation, Sin. The statement of whom you are and what you stand for. Again it rains down in my mind lite rain tapping out a tempo. You are definitively developing Beat style writes They have rhythm that bounces us around and drives your point into our brains. Keep at it my friend. ~Jan
