Blamed for being honest, Isn't this unfair?
Honesty the best policy, Yet cold hearted stares.
Did you not want the truth, Your eyes were asking?
Now blamed for being honest, when my heart was truly giving.

Honest attitudes, gestures are so precious, even though sometimes you may not be understood in a fair way. One must never repent from being honest. Thanks for sharing your feelings! Good luck! Maria
You are ever so correct in your assessment. Honesty- truth- often does hurt and terribly so, but honesty from a friend will always mend, making us stronger and forgetting the pain, while honesty, even though true, from an enemy may mend, but will always leave a scar in our minds and in our hearts...I prefer the truth I wish not to hear, rather than the lie that sounds sweet and dear...Well said...
A wonderful write with a punchy little message! Yes I do prefer honesty! Bit only when asked for though! Lol. Cheers Lyn
truth is on the inside this much we know, but how can we tell others which way to go there perception is their reality and that's the way it will always be. (an excellent write)
Dear Lyn, you are right, and I do agree. Honesty is a great virtue in life and even if it is, it also demands sacrifice. One can encounter sorrows or pain from being honest because there is also the opposite power that tries to hide or imprison honesty in tthe light. But the conviction of one's honesty enables one to bear any amount of pain...It surely will pass. Very good creation from your pen, Lyn. Thanks for writing this.
Now, I'm not going to lie, I really like this, honest...... Well put together, if asked whether they ever lie, most people will lie about it!
A wonderful poem encapsulating the TRUTH and its after effects. I love the way you have presented.KUDOS.!
With a true friend we can be honest and they will accept and understand, many so called friends can bring us pain, honesty surely must win, (or does it?) a wonderful write of real life.
True friends are hard to find - to thine own self be true is one of my favourite quotes. Good one Lyn.
Truth can be painful at times! But when truth is distorted and mis represented, it is even more painful! Somehow truth will ultimately win! A powerful write! Thanks for the great comments!
so well written, so many want the truth and yet when it comes straight at them, they can't handle it, because we live in a world of gray, there is no solid b&w, its there but the majority decide not to see or acknowledge it.happy new year Lyn
Lyn the eternal dilemma to be honest or not, because the infidels are ever successful. However honest is the greatest reward... congrats by dr riza
