Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Balls Slam

That must have taken Ball's to write

The answer to which is both

Yes and No 

Otherwise i wouldn't have been able
to have shared it with you

And what's the point is if all I share is 
fake and leads you up the garden path 
deceiving you into believing i am great

If i can not honestly admit my faults and point out
where i went wrong would i not be stringing
you along

I can not see the point or value in writting
if my primary reason is to be liked

Behind a keyboard and with total anonymity i get
the fact that you can choose to be anyone you want

But speaking personally from the Heart
this is not my 1st date manifesto putting my
best foot forward

I would rather you come to know me
warts and all and not colour your decision

If i speak and tell you only truth 

I never have to remember the lies i told

And for me that is enough

And that unfortunately includes both the ugly and bad stuff 2

Christopher Flaherty October 18, 2019 at 1:29 PM This was written and inspired in reply or regarding your Ball's comment L.L. That particular line was something that stuck with me my Dad once said. If i was to say to you L.L i do not or ever Lie. I would honestly actually in fact be telling or Lying to you. I try my level best L.L but Soup me is the best version of me the 1 with backbone and ball's
