Today's prompt for the Writer's Digest April 2015 Poem A Day Challenge is: Write a poem about Honesty or Dishonesty. I chose Honesty.
The truth Hurts
I expect nothing less than honesty
But I've lied my way
Out of tricky situations
Used my gender
As an excuse
Not to stand out
Acted like I didn't know
What was going on
Kept my opinions to myself
So that you would accept me
(Not that that ever helped)
Stayed silent and small
So as to not rock the boat
Turned my anger inwards
And blamed you!
The truth hurts
But it was my choice all along.
