 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

I've Written Many Things…


I've written many things that's true,
And at times pretended it wasn't about me,
For I couldn't let it be known…
It would hurt others in my life you see.

But now I have decided to be true,
And tell it as it is; and not hide!
For all that did was cause me hurt,
And a pain that was gaping wide!

Why should I let it be hidden?
The pain in my life brought about by he?
I guess I did it to protect others,
And so the truth was only seen by me.

But this day it dawned that I changed my mind,
And now I will write it as it is for me!
No more will I protect or hide from life!
For the truth is of paramount importance to me!

So here I tell it as it is from this day;
And when those words written are about me,
It shall be shown, and no longer hidden!
For the truth is the only reality I want to see!

And so now I have a new chapter,
For every page that you see written here,
Will always be about who it is,
For I no longer live in that fear…

Because all that did was hurt me,
By hiding the truth of this life of mine,
So I now tell it as it is…
And I will, until the end of time!!!

It wasn't that I was a coward,
It was to avoid any hurt and pain;
For it would be others that got hurt,
So I hid my past!! I hang my head in shame!

Because I realised it's not my fault at all,
There is no shame in me to see!
For all that I am, is all that I am,
I am as my God decided I should be!

Truthful, honest, and caring,
Yes, I can tell it like it is, and I am!
Because at the end of the day, it's the truth!
And more so, because I can!
