To Tell The Truth

A poem about second thoughts...

Now and then you should stop and look

Around you for a while

Ask yourself why you went and took

A chance so free and wild

At the time it was logical

Although hanging by a thread

It all just seemed so magical

But you may have been mislead

You wonder why the past still haunts

When it should be laid to rest

What's new to you is always wrong

And you feel like second best

You picked your pieces off the floor

Quickly they were thrown away

When others still need much longer

For what you did in one day

++++++++++++++++++++++

When words slip out by accident

Don't dismiss why they were used

'Cause careless words are often meant

As a way to tell the truth

I can really relate to this poem. I too stuggle with keeping my thoughts to myself but that doesn't stop them from being true. Excellent job Ms. Wisniewski and very well said. 😊

Athena Marie, I like the ending best when you write :

When words slip out by accident
Don't dismiss why they were used
'Cause careless words are often meant
As a way to tell the truth

That is so true and said so well. I enjoyed reading this poem of yours and I will be visiting more of them.
