WHO IS TRUE?

Can I maintain
This blog about thought
and keep my integrity
from being sold or bought?
I post what's deemed worthy
and good for a read.
They represent my motives,
and where I think they can lead.

A poem is easy,
if it comes real quick.
I write them and share them,
and they show how I tick.

I'm the guy who needs
to share what he thinks.
With me, I start typing.
While you might need some drinks.

To share is essential,
to who I want to be.
Transparent and forthcoming.
What you're reading is me.

Bob Dylan once wrote
to be invisible and real.
To live that way tells you
I have no secrets to conceal.

That's not who I am,
but who is at this point?
I'm no new messiah,
that you'd want to annoint.

But I am sincere
and my hearts on my sleeve.
Each friend that I earn.
I hope never leaves.

Being true to yourself
is a goal for my life.
It's important to me,
my kids and my wife.

I mean who would you want?
Some chameleon of change?
That takes every moment,
and his emotions arrange

To suit who he's with
who he needs to impress
I think we need more truth
and illusion much less.

I try to be the man
I want all to see
but at the end of each day,
the mirror shows me.
