I'm a compulsive truth teller wanting to capture the very moment I lived or the moments I nearly held my breath too long and as I battle with the anguish of existence I watch wondering what I can learn from those held together with stronger fibres than me it seemed as always on the cusp of devastation I am I really wouldn't want glory that I'd stolen from open souls nor to gather in someone else's beauty it's painful to watch people paint with lies others daub false praise for reciprocation for the onlookers trust less and everybody loses a little part of themselves

A poem that causes reflection, to look more deeply into the dark well of selfhood and behavioural influences. The last two lines are brilliant. Well penned...

Thank you Paul, I can never ever know how much it bothers others but if someone is inauthentic to me I feel like scars occur. As a bystander I hate it. We can all deal with what it is to be human rather than live in the shallows. As I've shared without hesitation Paul, it's an honour to know you x

I guess lies are easy to tell. Perhaps that's the motivation. I enjoy this deep inspection of identity.
