Notes About The Poem

My Truths

                         I am not a perfect girl,
            and so often I fail with the truth; 
I thrive for sincerity, honesty, integrity, openness and for genuineness,
and know what my wisdom gathered says about being truthful
                         And I know right and wrong,
I know what I have read in the Bible scriptures;
but sometimes I have lied to protect another persons soul.
      Have said that I didn't cry when I definitely did,
            denied my biggest fear and deep hidden secrets;
                          and the life mistakes-   I made.
Yes, a thing is either true or it is not.
but my spiritual self and soul wavers on this often;
       for sometimes the truth is hurtful
                         like when my mother asked-  Will I die ?
