I could be fake like
silicon implants or
I could be honest
and vulnerable,
saying how I really
feel, even at the risk
of falling down or
being seen as weak.
I choose openness
that is about the state
of who I am and the
flaws that I see, rather
than the cadence of
low deceit in saying
it’s all okay when
truly it is not at all.
