Honest...

poem by: Stacey Harper
Written on Apr 25, 2019

I pack my heart in a box
And the bottom will leak
Find Truth in myself
But honesty wreaks 
If I altar my actions
It's not my words that will speak
Words said in the past are flaky
But what makes the future so sleek? 
Even if I fast forward to the ending
Will I find what I seek?
If I being completely honest,
Do I even know what that is?
If I pack my heart in a box
I can rest in the certainties it brings,
Even though a plant grows in a pot,
It's still able to live

lyrics by Stacey Harper

Torched my soul to cure the bleeding Ate myself whole to stop the feeling Burnt to a crisp, I stumble and fidget The man at the back of me step forward and whispered That it hurts when it hurts, there's no peace when healing Read more
