Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

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
