Jay Loveless Poet Free verse

A Truth I Speak

I am not always the smartest
Often times I appear not to be smart at all
My mind rambles 
My eyes skip words
My lips speak without hesitation
Stumbling over my sentences 
Incoherent blabber
I crawl inside myself
Whispering reassurances 
They are meaningless phrases
My insecurities wont allow
The possibility that I could believe them 
I am discouraged easily
Even my feet are not smart
Clumsy and tripping over air

Laura Breidenthal April 4, 2013 at 6:58 PM This verse shows your true intelligence and as Justin Bordner very well put it, your clear awareness of your feelings and who you are. I hope you are encouraged to write more of these thoughts down. Surely you'll find...there are many that feel the same way...you're not alone and you sure expressed yourself well here. I don't know why I haven't looked at your poems before! You are really good! With respect always, Laura

Justin Bordner March 25, 2013 at 1:59 PM Awareness is more useful than smarts; senseless contradictions can easily unfold from the jealousy of smart reasoning - just keep giving Spirit space move through and in Jay - you have too much audacity to be clumsy as a regular condition my friend - sometimes self doubt is a good medicine for reestablishing our powers - J.A.B. %
