The Solid Truth

THE SOLID TRUTH On the day I was born. Everyone put me on a petal stool. The Angel's played a trumpet horn. While everyone called me a ~precious jewel. Harps played! Doves flew! That's how my birth was displayed. As I got older ~ As I grew! My heart of gold started to fade. Sinking down in to the blues. I hide my thoughts under the shade. Wondering how one screw got lose. I removed the pin from my own grenade. Like TNT~ I lit my own fuse. Blowing myself away from your masquerade. My life has no buttons to defused.. My heart is twisted with barbwire as a barricade. I live this rotten life, no reason to hit the snooze. Sweating and letting the thoughts of revenge cascade. A level of rage and hate is my only muse. You camouflaged into a blonde beast with the eyes of jade. The truth has come out, with an unacceptable excuse. The solid truth, is like solid waste. A force of mean, turning a heart cold. Here's the truth do you want my new sour taste. Forget when I was sweet, when I was bold. I enjoy this new feeling of being out of place. The truth was told.. In your face. I laughed at the way it was all unfold. Walking with a smile~ one day you will die, and pay for what is owed. While I sleep at night with Glory.. You'll wake up everyday to my untold story. With the solid truth that lies have no end. Guilt will have everyone crying at my funeral. Wondering what happened to their "precious jewel. by;p.d.

Wow Linda. You convey the transition from the joy of early childhood to the harsh realities that a grown up life can throw at you. I learn more about you through the magic in your odes. So many deep poems that are all part of the treasure box of your soul. Blessings and hugs. Carl

PD, something very weird!! I accidentally saw your comments to me on my sensuous poem when I went to click on it out of curiosity to see how many people had replied specifically to THAT one. But the strange thing is THIS: your comments are not registering at my comment page. Always when we get a comment under a poem, it goes to our general comment page!! that is so weird. I hope I will start seeing your comments at my comment page as well as under my poems!

P.D.- Thanks for your comments and feedback. The anger is clear in this poem. I like "...is like solid waste"! lol Although, however ugly it might be, the truth never stinks as much as a lie. The pain people cause us eventually makes us stronger. I hope you are healing. Good write, see you soon :)

I nicknamed a little girl I worked with at the psych hospital turtle. She was hard as nails and angry, Rage came easy but inside that hard shell was a kid with a good heart. You write well. Hopefully more fiction in poems like these than fact. God Bless. Vince

Hello p.d.- I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. Much reveling of the self in this poem here. Tears are not all for naught and makes the heart grow stronger. Perhaps precious moments in time for a jewel of a poet. Thanks again, Susan

"My heart is twisted, with barbed wire as a barricade." A priceless line. You come up with a lot of them. I think there is still a lot of that "precious jewel" left in you. Love, Dave

P.D. Half gritty, half soaring as only you can write it. one thing that NOONE can ever deny. You r style is unique and it might be impossible to replicate. There is a definition of..art that fits that, you know. How are you. Best always from gerard.
