Gesture

Hate, Hate, Hate
Thats a disapproving look, 
a scowl,
a nod of the head, 
with anger behind the eyes.
So why looking back
with a sigh on my lips,
a tilted head
and a river of emotions
in my heart
do i...
hold back
from speaking the truth?

Great Write (: Maybe you hold back speaking the truth because your kind hearted and don't want it on your conscience that you hurt some one's feelings with the truth.. But that is only my opinion (:
