Honesty

It’s not easy to be honest The simplest questions are hard One’s like, what do you really want How can I honestly answer Not knowing what want even means Things are relative and fluid Understand- things change all the time Fragrances transform into thoughts Thoughts transform into images Images are hopes in my mind What of honesty- it’s a word What of words- can they be honest It’s difficult to be honest

As the songs says, "Honesty, such a lonely word....":) It's true though it isn't easy to be honest, especially if we don't know who we really are, and why we are here. But there are wants everybody shares: to love and be loved, the search for happiness, and to be of influence upon others. In what way of course can be debatable. Thought provoking write, David! Good to see you write again. Caroline.
