Ramblings part 5

Honesty

It's something we all ask from each other

But it comes with caveats

Things we all have to pay attention to

~

Societal rules that we're all expected to know

But if no one tells us then how can we know

So we all walk around nodding that we know the rules

But the truth comes out when we speak too much

~

Often a thought that springs to mind

Leaving from your lips unbridled

The look on everyone's face

But I don't know what I said wrong

~

Was it noting someone's enjoyment of drink?

Or the way that lady moves in her dress?

Perhaps it was the random thought of the Russian revolution that came to mind

When I heard that song

~

I try to filter down the things I say

But I often say more than I mean

But I can't help but speak on what comes to mind

Because always honesty is what's asked of me

This is another set of ramblings born from simple thoughts on how often we're asked for honesty. However many people only want a watered down version of it. Gotten myself in trouble a lot of times by not remembering that. This also goes out to my 100th subscriber Un-Traditional Mother and to all my subscribers. Un-Traditional Mother said that they liked poetry and honesty so here you go. Their link is also below go check them out.
