A poem about truth

Write with

truth. That

is the only thing that

matters. Write

with truth

dripping from

your fingertips

so

when people

rip apart

your technique

and titter and

shame,

they can’t

rip apart your

truth. Because

truth is truth.

There is

no fixing

truth. No

editing it

to

make it

symmetrical.

It is

stained and jagged

and that’s

what makes

it

beautiful.

I like to share my art and writings, whether it's silly or serious. I'll also feature a comic I work on called Writing Whoas, which is about the joys and hardships of being a writer. Stick around to laugh or cry.

    I love the heart of this: that as long as it's True, the critics can't touch it. Not really. Fantastic! The flow had me hooked.

  • Great work! Fantastic job!
