F, F

You forgive? You forget?
First let me say this poem is directed towards 
Those who believe or propagate the lies
I have no quarrel with anyone else
If it wouldn't make me sound as if I'm only 3
My next words would have to be
You started it by telling lies
Distance is like a disguise 
When you sit behind a screen 
Some think they can say anything
All that I really did
Was use the words of somebody
Greater than you, smarter than you
To show you how I feel
To show you what I believe
To show you who I am
To those of you who still won't take me at my word
You're the one who really sounds absurd
Don't worry though I'll forgive you
But like you say, it's harder to forget

Jolene, though I don't know to which words you are referring to, I hear your message...A screen is like a mask protecting all...especially the narcissistic ones who will find the splinter in another's artistic expression, amazingly not blinded by the log in there own ~ now I'm sure I've read those words somewhere:)? Aw fagetaboutit:)...peace, jill

i think somewhere I've seen something to the effect that lies originate with Satan. Peace
