Honesty
Gelene Beverly (PathofStars) 1979 (Ohio)
With open heart and enlightened mind
A truth in yourself is what you find.
Without a compass to guide your way
Only the purest can light the day.
A world of confusion dwells inside
From a past that you cannot hide.
Accept who you were born to be
Fear not what someone else will see.
Because it is who you truly are
Be strong enough to raise the bar.
For in the end we all want the same
To come out on top in this life's game.
