Thoughts

Oft do I feel I should censor my mind, Spill the ink on the cloth that my words lay, Snatched by the Raven 'fore I finish my thoughts, Mistaken by others that read as a foray, Naught do I mean to cause an attack, My emotions doth escape without thought, Unhappiness apparent they will say, Though the truth is adverse to what they sought.

U r rite jay! But sometimes its better to avoid the thoughts combine with feelings N feelings with others who would definitely interpret the thoughts according to their own convenience

If the truth is not one's friend, then one makes an enemy of it; the beautiful thing about truth, is that it can never be an inherent foe, only we, with our limited honesty & knowledge can cause truth for us to be an enemy - I would rather be given the truth of your mind then the absence of the care in which your truth carries Jay - sometimes to escape is better than to resign - " Spill the ink on the cloth that my words lay..." stunning artistry - with respect - J.A.B. %
