Honesty

I've been crying too long
It feels like my eyes are bleeding 
You claim I'm the only one who is wrong
I guess accountability is what you're conceding 

I was never perfect 
But I tried my best 
Your feelings faded
And you know the rest

I've been going through too much 
I haven't had time in a while
Not even for good times and such
I can't remember the last time I really smiled

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts on honesty through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
