There’s something
so fulfilling
about being direct
Something so
thrilling
Something so
perfect
I know that “directness” seems
frightening
I know to some it’s like being
struck by lightning
I know that ‘correctness” appears
to be enlightening
There’s no better gift
than conversation
Nothing so swift
as true sensation
Honesty has never been
a mystery
Promise me integrity
isn’t history
So, I choose to be direct
not perfect
I choose to be me
never to flee
I’d rather
fly
Then live
a lie
-Grace

Amazing! If we say 10 things in a conversation and even 8 of those don’t make sense, we’ll have conveyed at least two right things. Yet if we keep overthinking and don’t speak out our views, we’ll never be heard. Wonderful poem!

authentic in speech, conversation, poetry and translate to living. The principle of not fabricating to get along. This is profound and yet poetic. A message worth sharing. Continue to be fearlessly free and we be blessed with poetic treats that we can learn from!
