Never Hiding Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in the aftermath of turmoil, feeling it's
devastating requirements on my being, taking the
last vestiges of life from me.

Wanting only to continue writing, hiding within
verses being written, letting others who read them
know who I really am.

No pretenses, lies or hoaxs to confront, just plain
truth, honest and forthright, never hiding from
faults or mistakes in life.

Always admitting if I have done wrong, making amends
wherever I can possibly do so, living an honest and
narrow path in this world, never compromising self
for anything or anybody else.

Being true to God and self, nothing having mattered
at all, except family and friends.
