hit me

yours

is not always

the truth

I am longing

to hear



still,

I will take

honesty's beating

over deception

any day



I'll even

thank you

for the pain-

it reminds me

all of life

is beautiful



I like the bite

sometimes

a little

kick start

to get me

moving



in my life

I've only

known

the betrayal

I allowed

myself

to perceive



I'll take

the tart

tasting swallow

overy candy coated

bullshit

every time
