Presumptuous

~ ~M

Some will march in spewing insincerity
Still others will tiptoe in without pretense
Both are after the same things
Both are cruel and unkind
Manipulation comes in many forms
I am sure I have not seen all the ways
But I am sure of it when I see it
This will not be my future
I have never been blind to the truth

  5. That’s a very big wish, leastwise while I point the finger at myself. It takes a generous heart to allow others to be and learn from where they stand, rather than how I think or feel they should be. Very hard. I try. That worth a shiny penny?
