Array ( [sid] => 85668 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Truthful [time] => 2005-02-25 03:08:03 [hometext] => I am a very sensitive person and sometimes I am misunderstood because I am TOO truthful. I wrote this because I just want people to understand, what you see is what you get. [bodytext] => Sometimes I do things that just seem weird,
I say things and act in ways to be feared,
I just don't talk the way I should,
I just won't be quiet even though I could,
I will not look down, will not be afraid,
Will not be deterred in any way,
I always say what's on my mind,
Even if my reasons seem hard to find,
I refuse to play coy or hide behind lies,
Even though I'm told that is sometimes unwise,
But, life is too short to be playing that game,
So, what I feel and what I say are always the same,
Don't look for motives behind my words,
Even my reactions, though sometimes absurd,
Are straight from the heart and so very real,
I remain truthful to myself and to you about how I feel.

Truthful

Sometimes I do things that just seem weird,
I say things and act in ways to be feared,
I just don't talk the way I should,
I just won't be quiet even though I could,
I will not look down, will not be afraid,
Will not be deterred in any way,
I always say what's on my mind,
Even if my reasons seem hard to find,
I refuse to play coy or hide behind lies,
Even though I'm told that is sometimes unwise,
But, life is too short to be playing that game,
So, what I feel and what I say are always the same,
Don't look for motives behind my words,
Even my reactions, though sometimes absurd,
Are straight from the heart and so very real,
I remain truthful to myself and to you about how I feel.

A message well-expressed.
I liked the fact that the rhyming flows, and doesn't feel forced at all.

Good work!

Wow, that is how I want to be though I must say I act totally the opposite. I'm what poeple consider as weak and act to please people. I admire you. Very well expressed poem!!
