Tell It Like It Is

TELL IT LIKE IT IS


   I wish to tell it like it is
   what I think to put that straight way:
   If unpleasant, me in crisis.
   though for sake of truth I should say.

   If pleasant, so easy to speak.
   I wish to tell it like it is.
   Bad news can’t express so quick.
   Evil things! I try to polish.

   Honouring truth, facts I should release,
   but hesitate, if it hurts, though
   I wish to tell it like it is.
   I know, openness to follow.

   Not being harsh on empathy 
   I don’t hit thoughts of her or his.
   Restrictions put by sympathy.
   I wish to tell it like it is.
