When you can feel, what no one will say
You look in their eyes and they just look away
The negative vibes come filtering through
How can you resolve things, what do you do?
So often you’re scared to say what you feel
The truth often hidden, you don’t face what’s real
Yet truth good or bad, if spoken with feeling
Cuts out the pain caused when lies they’re concealing
If only all humans could speak from within
Eliminate small talk and with it much sin
Truth hidden will fester, and nobody gains
Speak what you feel; you’ll be free from the chains
Chains of restriction on what one should say
Political correctness just gets in the way
Wise men of old spoke with true open mind
And all those who listened, gained something you’ll find
So often in this life you’re taught not to say
But things on your mind just don’t go away
Why can’t you voice them, without feeling fear?
Or could you be saying what they don’t want to hear
If it’s bottled inside the thought you can’t free
So it sits in your head and it won’t let you be
And the only way out is if spoken in word
Once said, you can deal with what everyone heard..
It’s the hearing which opens your eyes to the feeling
Only then can you think of the process of healing
So never hold back that which plays in your head
Understanding comes only from words which are said!!
Didn’t get the job!
“I have to say” he said to me
“I was really impressed when I saw your CV”
“So compact, condensed, precise”
“And all on one page, that’s very nice”
I suddenly felt myself glowing with pride
He likes my CV I felt happy inside
I couldn’t hold back and I started to smile
Hadn’t had a compliment like that in a while
He likes my CV well now that’s a great start
The interview continued and I played my part
I smiled and I nodded learning forward in my chair
Keeping eye contact but careful not to stare
I uncrossed my legs and I tilted my head
Feigning great interest in all that he said
The interview techniques I researched yesterday
Spoke of body language and what it can say
We talked and we talked and the time seemed to fly
Before I realized we were saying goodbye
I shook his hand gently and again forced a smile
I told him I hoped that we’d meet in a while
The days they did pass and my phone did not ring
I checked out my emails but there wasn’t a thing
How long should one leave it and can I ask why?
I felt so dejected I just wanted to cry…
