Transparency

Transparency
Inherently is a scary place to be
There are things I do not want the world to see
But knowing this is how it should be
I endeavour each day 
To reveal if only in a little way
A little more of me
Opening the door of accountability
In all that I believe.

Transparency
Inherently is not something that comes easily
And others can judge harshly
On the things that are in the past and behind me
Perseverance is the key
Bringing into reality accountability
In all that I believe

Transparency
Inherently is my soul being set free
Living out my destiny
Leaving fear and shame from where it came
Never again to be the same
Accepting I can be all I want to be
Demonstrating my accountability 
In all that I believe

This is a very well written poem. One that comes from the heart. Transparency is how we all want to be, but it hardn we can not be. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
