Best To Be Honest Poems
To be honest with you all
I am but a hack, a fraud
I contain no heart nor soul
And my mind a blunted sword.
Having moments to reflect
I now know this to be true
Searching deep within myself
For what else can a man do?
I gaze into the unknown
Into chaos and darkness
My head spinning in pain
How much left is to confess?
With paper and pen, I write
All my thoughts down as I go
This well now empty and dry
What is left for you to know?

TO BE BROKEN IS TO BE HONEST
Voice: Space Cadet (Wesley C)
The sand is a warm window;
from the sill,
I watch skiffs in the distance sail away from me.
Sea opens to self-sought solitude.
That one day, distant lands became familiar playground
for children of men, cruelly joined in time and place,
by dice thrown into air, dimpled cubes with my name
and theirs.
I hear those children laugh in their sunny day, ice cream innocence.
Their language a sound from once familiar foreign land.
I stand in pain, refuse the hand that asks
to help
And wonder:
if to be a child
is to be honest,
am I blind
to their askance stares? With each step will I
leave behind their glares?
As I lift my head from my feet, with eyes toward the sea, my scars
are only reflections of the footprints they perceive to be as me:
Lines in the flesh-colored sand,
wilted under uneven sea edges, remainders of the battle of separation.
Craters, crimson petals blemished in the glass sun.
A lonely pursuit.
A sand rose's stigmata on my chest.
Silence polished on my window reflection.
Yet I gleam, my back to a windowless beach:
With each day's dusk,
we all fracture,
light decays
myriad aspects
etched experiences
To be broken
is to be honest
To be honest I don't know what I've done...
To be truthful I hope I've made the right choice,
to have your heart as my sun.
To be straightforward I think I've found my award.
To be direct you have a huge heart, I checked.
To be open it's hard for me to express what I mean with out chokin'.
To be sound, our love was found.
To be fair, let's stay together and share.
everything from the air we breathe for eternity,
to the love we share to make each other happy.

To Be Honest
By Laura

Just rip me open
Tear me apart
Tell me again how you knew from the start
Make me a martyr
Tell me I'm strong
Just make me feel like I've done nothing wrong
Just pull me out of my head
Cause I really hate myself
Sometimes I wish I was dead
But instead I hurt myself
Give me example
Show me the way
Show me the things I dont know how to say
Call me a liar
Call me a thief
Wish you could see I just need some relief
Every day I stare into the deep end
Knowing I'm no longer well
I'm both an angel and a deamon
I live in heaven and in hell
To be honest, I am not sure who I am praying to. Maybe I am talking to myself but...
To be honest, I can not take it anymore.
My life is a failure, I feel like a...
To be honest, I want to quit.
I want to quit hurting me; I want to quit hurting them.
To be honest, I do not know what to do.
For the first time, I am really lost.
To be honest, I do not know if anyone hears me.
But if someone hears, please come find me.
To be honest, I think you look amazing.
To be honest, I admitted that I was in love.
To be honest, being cool is worthless.
To know love is powerful.
To see through the dark sides of secrets we hide.
To feel loved is powering.
To be complete is what I feel now.
To understand the things I go through is harder then telling a lie for me.
To be honest.
To be honest, I'm afraid of the future so I live in the past.
To be honest, I feel as if I'm hidden in your mind.
To be honest, this secret is hard to keep when you're lying awake unable to sleep.
Am I crazy?
No, just a bit insane.
Am I able to be who I truly am?
No, some say it's just a fairytale.
Am i in love with someone?
It's just a secret like my name.
Love is my lover.
Hate is a secret we bend and break our back to keep to sustain our fear.
Just a lovesickpoet writing down her deep dark secrets.
Ironic?
No just suffering through the distance of those who have demons controlling them.
Creepy?
Maybe just define Creepy and you'll figure out that secret.
Breaking up ain't easy for me
the ends less like hell its more like purgetory
my lovers heart is the art of an untold story
my mind soaring
fukk of over romanticies memories of you and me
my friends tell me to let it be
but i can't you brought me to my highest peak
and its not fair I can't breath withoout you next to me
you're my air
and do I dare share my nightmares
of nights where whe she couldn't fight fair
hoping to find a women who might care
as much for me as sneaker head cares
for their nike airs
and my dreams might tear...away
from reality my mind drifts drastically
writting dramatically everything that I
drink to forget as I drink my regrets
I'll admit that its hard for me
to see lifes purity
and clarify less clearer things
with murky crystal balls and unforseen destinies
the past is just testing me
but don't mind my mind as I try to stay sane with these words of mine
is the question mark on her oh so special heart
just a blaitent reminder of things that'll never be mine
as I start to understand all of those lines from those sad songs
like how this house ain't no home
and how there's no sunshine once she's gone
and I know that some will call this emo
but maybe by my next poem I'll have moved on
but for now I'll tell you how I feel
and I promise to keep it real
Teachers know some liars will sputter
And judges know liars will mutter
But truth be told
Some are quite bold
Donald Trump will lie in the gutter!
My heart is filled with fears,
My eyes, they are full of tears.
I miss you so much that every part of my body aches.
You will never know for you I kept myself at stake.
I can't stop myself from loving you,
I can't tell myself not to think about you.
Yet you seem so nonchalant about it,
In your life I was such a misfit.
Your words and your actions don't match,
Yet every tear you shed I am ready to catch.
But for you I was never a good match.
You said there are others and I smiled.
Your love made me beguile.
It's so clear for you I never mattered,
Now you are gone and all my dreams are shattered.
I should have known this,
Love never brings bliss.
And here I lie down and cry,
Asking myself why?
And you seem to be so fine,
I mistook you for a diamond,you were just an ordinary stone which shined.
