Honestly

i just don't understand people.

honestly

sometimes i don't know what i want

honestly 

my own emotions confuse me

i'm stubborn

thinking i have it all figured out

honestly i don't

without a doubt

easily angered 

honestly

by the controversy

of what a woman should be

  i think i know 

that's what i tell myself

honestly

it's just a show

we grow in life

to be what we want to be

honestly 

is that the key

if honesty is all it takes

why oh why

honestly

are people such snakes

I don't think I've ever understood another person fully. There's always too much to know. Brilliant write and the layout matches it very nicely! :)

thank you very much, people can be very hard to understand i've found out over my years.

i very much like the floe of this poem it makes it quick and easy to read. I understand the thoughts within it, there is truth and rawness of life.
The trick is (as Coyote say) take a step back and observe yourself firstly, then question what it is you really want. Ask openly, honestly, then rid yourself of everything else. If you ask yourself when you are (metaphorically) naked, your clarity will increase and the answers you seek shall arrive ... when you can observe yourself you will be able to observe others and recognise their motives and their fears and their weaknesses straight away allowing you to decide if they need to be in your life or not .. just thoughts ... nothing more .. take care xx

Great poem. I honestly also don't know what I want sometimes and I honestly can't tell you why people can be such snakes.
Lovely write :)

[hmarieee]

yeah, people can just be so confusing and it just gets worse day by day.

I tell all people. Slow and easy does it. Think decisions out first. There are more snakes than good people. Know people before opening doors to the bad folks. A very good poem. It is good to search your mind and heart for what you truly need. This is very wise. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

So, first of all I love how jostling it is to see honestly pop in again and again, but Honestly (pun intended) it makes perfect sense. I think we too often lie to ourselves. It's almost like we need that reminder to just be honest, I don't only love your writing but really like the spacing that you used. Honest and right up the middle. You do good work HM ;)
