The Truth......A Writing Exercise

The one of me


 





that sees
The two of me
that speaks


The third part of me
that hears the truth deep inside me
is wavering...
always thinking out loud


Three thoughts
wasted
when in my heart
I know what's right to do


Hovering above me
at all times
is TRUTH


the spirit of it
the bottom line of it
the "me" I can never escape


I smile
in the face of decision
and indecision


I frown in the depths
of discontent
of options spent


Then
this grin
this silly grin
that says to me


You know what you need to do...


 


 


 


HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE KNOWN THE RIGHT THING TO DO.


..AND HAVEN'T DID IT...LOL


SOMETIMES OPTIONS


CAN BE AS DESTRUCTIVE AS LIMITATIONS...

    Like Chris Rock says, just because you Can do something doesn't mean you should..hell you can drive with your feet but should you?

  2. I've found myself in the realm of conteplation when I truly know what really needs to be done. Seemingly we require affirmation of a decision that can only be made from within. This was an excellent expression of this pic...I love the way you let it be known that we can pretend not to know what to do all we want but the truth is we have the answer already. My interpretations of this is probably not parallel to your intended perception, but this is what I gathered from it...it spoke volumns!!!

  9. ahhhh wise one. This is so true.
    many times we confuse the obvious answers with the complications of alternate views
    Strong words in this write good work.

  10. Three...I agree. We make situations harder for ourselves, by not doing the right thing in the first place...

  11. loving this

    I always have this dilema to the nth power. so many thoughts and parts of me conflicting at times purposely battling the truth in me.

    Wants to do right instead of wrong. To control the beast within me

    still at times the caged animals are released and I have to gather them back to me.

    incredible write

  13. nah the caged animals are way more than just lust. There are many other aspects that remained chained for the protection of all.

    Knowledge is knowing what haunts your inner being.
