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

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

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. %
