You my dear readers have told me multiple times, you are impressed with the way I “put myself out there”. And I can tell you, it is not a choice for me. I would just as soon tell you while we were talking as I do as I’m writing.
Because I truly believe that the truth will set you free. And may even help another person to be freed from their own brain imprisonment. I find, more often than not, people are not judgmental but relieved and supportive that you tell the truth.
We can tell truth from pomposity. And we need to hear it to ground us. So why not do everyone a favor and just go ahead and be you to begin with.
When it’s my moment in the sun
Oh , how beautiful I’ll be
But in a normal sort of way
Like I am you and you are me
Cause I have a lot of things to say
And you’d be wise to listen good
I think that hunger, war, and death
Are bringin’ everybody down
When it’s my moment in the sun
I’ll share my problems with the world
And psychosomatically I’ll sing
To god and all his pretty girls
When it’s my moment in the sun
I won’t forget that I am blessed
But every hero walks alone
Thinking of more things to confess.
