The Honestly

In a world of masks and hidden faces,

Let me speak my truth in honest spaces.

Through the valleys of deceit and lies,

I'll strip away the veils, no need for disguise.

Honestly, I'll unravel my innermost fears,

Release the burdens held for countless years.

For in vulnerability, strength is found,

A testament to the soul unbound.

With words unfiltered, I'll paint my soul's hue,

Revealing shades of both darkness and light too.

No need to sugarcoat or fabricate,

Honesty, the foundation upon which I create.

Through tears and laughter, I'll navigate,

The winding paths that life does orchestrate.

For in truth's embrace, I find solace and peace,

A refuge from the chaos that does not cease.

Honestly, I'll confront my flaws and flaws of others,

Accepting imperfections as sisters and brothers.

For truth unites us, no matter our divide,

In its embrace, our souls shall coincide.

Let me speak without filters, without pretense,

Unveiling my heart's every essence.

For honesty, dear friend, is a balm to the soul,

A beacon of light in a world dark and cold.

So let us strive to live with truth as our guide,

Nurturing the honesty we can't hide.

For in our rawness, we find our true worth,

Revealing the beauty that lies beneath the earth.

Honestly, I'll journey through life's symphony,

Embracing truth, shedding the false harmony.

With every word spoken from the depths of me,

I'll dance with authenticity, wild and free.
