Words are important to me. If you listen (read) carefully, people tell you the truth even when they’re trying not to. Even when they are lying to themselves. As a poet and as a lifelong wordsmith, I pick up on the subtle nuances people think they are using to hide their truths but in essence are giving away who they truly are. This makes the poet intuitive, insightful and profound. Unfortunately when it comes to my own relationships, I tend to be blind to these truths. I’d rather ignore them in lieu of hopefully finding the love of my life, the unicorn that everyone claims isn’t out there. I’d rather see the things that make him unique and beautiful than the truths that make him average and even ugly, not physically, but in the way he treats me, talks to me; admits to me who he truly is…he’s a lonely shady man who is arrested by a false pursuit of happiness that only thinks of himself. * * * #writers_creed #writerscreed #illustrans #poeticstories #teacup13 #vulnerability #wordsmiths #twcpoetry #poetryriot #poetryportal #jsydspoetry #writersfollowwriters #blindtoyou #ownthetruth #pursuitofhappiness #shadybusiness #arresteddecay #wordsyousay
