Lewis Raynes Poet Quatrain

I Am What You See

I’ve joined a group new to the net, 
A group where no one is fake,
A group made of folks living their flaws, 
Not hiding their inner most ache,

And they annoy me with whatever they say, 
Make me uncomfortably real,
Make me be honest about what I believe, 
Honest with things that I feel,

And they wont be my friend just to be cool, 
They wont buy a ticket of false,
They expect a dignified genuine truth, 
Sharing all of my old fashioned faults,

This group I have joined has one cost to join, 
One cost we all must perform,
And that is to unshackle any fake pretend thoughts,
And leave them by the front door.
