Truth
The truth is that I want to be accepted
I want to feel loved
cared for
and held like the small child I feel inside sometimes
the truth is
is that I need to be able to speak my own truth
no, not yours
no, not hers
but mine
my truth-the truth that comes from knowing what is in my heart
Last nite, I realized my heart was like an uncut diamond
needing polishing and brushing up
in order to let the facets fly
into transcendent prisms that can touch the azure skies
the truth is
is that I need to be kind to myself
and treat myself with the respect that I deserve
so I can respect
and love you
too
