If I Spoke My Mind
honestly have I ever told you the conscientious truth
I do not mind what you do think feel project and portray
that I still care but you’re not the source of my fortune
the prison cage of your abuse neglect venom and hatred
has squeezed open my liberation independence and joy
for when all was said and done I took my own flight
soak up happiness passion and compassion where it resides
free at the point of delivery and sharing of proper kindness
because life is too short and precious for anger and pain
truthfulness can hurt and does not lead to redemption yet
forgiving and not forgetting is a human value to hold dear
I am grateful and wish you well on your own lonely journey
