The Honesty Game


Just tell me

When I am out of line

When I am out of place

When I am out of time

Peace of mind

When those places seem safe

And the lines are blurred

And the tears are smooth

And the hate is “cured”

It sounds absurd

To think a mind could revitalize a soul

Or terrorize a heart

Or break away a trust

Or exist outside its head

Alive and yet dead.
