    The message is powerful in this. Indeed it does take courage to be honest and tell the truth rather than hiding behind lies. Sometimes the truth hurts but it has to be told. Well done.

    Great job on this piece.

    Tucked away safely
    within a closet,
    it sits unnoticed where
    no light can touch or
    reveal its true colors.

    Very true words. Sometimes once the truth is revealed the damage is already done.
    Excellent!

    This is so true. sometimes i dont want to say what i need to for fear of hurting feelings or something. that whole "walking on egg-shells" idealogy. it is easier to just be honest and open, but sometimes is does take some courage. i agree.

    Meena,

    A poem with a truth that rings like a bell:)

    In modern day society all people wear masks to enable them to parttake in a world that has become very complicated. If all people would be honest all the time we would not be able to function ( yes, you look fat; I hate my boss, etc..you cannot say such things)..but on a personal level, and especially to onesself honesty is the best policy and the way to a happy, healthy future.

    Well done:)

    God bless,

    5/5 Ingrid

    Wow, when I was reading this I found myself nodding in my mind. How true and mature are your words, and this is what many now-a-days need to hear. You wrote the truth and carved the path to knowing how to make this world a more trusting honest community. I admired your easy to read form and how your heartfelt thoughts flowed so freely down. Simplicity equals beauty and that's only some of what you have shown by stating the obvious, thoughs there are those who disregard this.

    Congratulations on the win and God bless!
