Honesty-Dishonesty
By Mary K. Mennenga
Relationships a matter of trust and faith
Being honest
Lie to yourself that’s fine
When perpetuating that lie
Passing it on as truth
The harm it’s capable of
When becoming aware
Of a deception
Achieves one thing
Unworthy of honesty
Was it pity and or lies?
A question never asked
Harm it did cause
Wasn’t the intent, but is the result
Of dishonesty
This is not a typical type of my reflection I've posted here before. However it's a reflection of not one loss but of many, that have come from living with m.s. Being guilty of lying to myself out of pride and foolishness from time to time, and those little white lies that are told to spare one's feelings, because it may hurt them and harm a friendship.
