“transparent” [the words]

words i wrote that led “transparent” from this collection.

Love so freely
Be transparent
Love what you do so much
that it’s impossible for them not to take notes
Be kind
Everyone is includable
Only a fool would miss the heart
Don’t join the fools banquet
Don’t fall for the noise
Open your eyes
The fake news, the curated images
The opague ones that hide by design
They’ll leave as fast as they came
As soon as you say something a little too real
They were never there for real
As for me?
I’ve got nothing left to hide
The risk is high but the reward higher
Wearing my heart on my sleeve simply isn’t enough anymore
I want to cover all my flesh with my heart and soul
Turn myself inside out and paint my body for all the world to see

this is more or less why i make/share art or really… anything. the work i share may not be my best work yet [how do we know when we’ve just done our best work though? that seems too finite for me] but perfection is overrated and everything we do is part of the story.
