Telling the Truth

I talk a lot regarding positive thinking
and of the healing arts
how I believe people should be linking
their conceptual hearts

The truth is that I struggle
with this everyday
I tell myself to juggle
and for these thoughts to back away

With words I console myself
then fight what I have said
in my lines I haven't been myself
there's confusion in my head

I wanted to come clean with you
though I'm not a hypocrite
at least you recognize now what I do
now let these words to sit

Words can put a smile on a face. Words can make one cry. I love to give out smiles/laughs with my words. Think positive and happy words to get you through each day. God Bless You as you write away..................
