Low Self Monitoring

Sunday, September 25, 2022

If what you say doesn't ring true
then I can't agree with you
It don't matter if you think me impolite
my inner core is my guiding light

I will not stray from the path I know true
to spare discomfort from you
I'll speak my mind don't you worry
not in intention to make you sorry

I just cannot hide from who I am
in order to stick to some social plan
I'm like a brick house falling on you
I'll stand up for what I know is true

I might not be the most coveted guest
but I will carry on my quest
And say what you will
I must hold some truth because I'm here still

If one is true to oneself, one is true to others; "honesty is the best policy." Well done, Elizabeth. Love, peace, and best wishes,


Regis. 🙏😎🐦🌸🌳💚
