say what you mean
mean what you say
don’t allude to your feelings
while turning away
don’t hide what you’re saying
behind veils of mystique
with words rarely spoken that sound like they’re Greek
spell it out in an instant
there’s no need to stall
use language that’s simple
the best type of all
not dressed in disguise
but upright and proud
though it might raise an eyebrow
just speak it out loud
i’d rather the truth
the truth that you see
although once you have said it
i might not agree
we might on occasions
not share the same views
that doesn’t mean failure
it’s yesterdays news

The message in the well written poem is true, it can be very difficult at times to carry it. A very enjoyable read. Thank you Cassie
Thank you kindly Tabani. Appreciate your visit.
You are very welcome
A gale of truth blowing right at my cryptic tendencies.But the truth is the truth! Nothing like the value and privilege of understanding and being understood.
Thank you arqios. Not easy if one of you speaks in code and metaphor:) I appreciate you stopping by.
Passing strange from you, Cassie: "don’t hide what you’re saying behind veils of mystique" So what's it all about, then?
Hello Dave …..it is what it is Dave:) Thanking you for stopping by though. All the best.
I always run away form KP when she wants more botox money! lol.
Poor KP. She gets bad press and all her secrets come out here. Thank you Orchi.
Truth 💯. And you used very clear, unveiled, language to convey it. i hope this didn't happen on here, but regardless, this poem is absolutely true and should be read by everyone! That said, I am certainly glad you are here for poetry...heck, I'm glad you are here period! Keep sharing your poetic wisodm, Cassie. It's much needed in this world! 🌹👏🤗❤️
Thank you Tristan, pleased for your comments and your visit. All the best.
All the best to you, as well, Cassie. You are most welcome!
Very nice Cassie yes, it is the rare person that stands up against the crowd. Most people go along, even if they don’t feel like it. What we don’t realize is that one person can change the tide of a majority. Standing up for what one believes gives others courage to do the same.
Stand up and be counted for what you feel strongly about. Thanks Soren for stopping by.
Well written, Cassie.
Thank you kindly Jerry for stopping by. Much appreciated.
Say what you will, this is a damn fine poem. It is best that we share ideas and thoughts rather than dealing in secret. Openness mainly brings with it, truth, while secrecy harbors evil. A fine poem Cassie. - Phil A.
Thank you so much for a generous review Phil. Pleased you enjoyed the read. All the best.
A form of great communication, I face this on a daily basis being from a different culture and language, I never fail to get my point across and in most cas s I'm respected for it, a brilliant theme dearest Cassie, say what you mean and mean what you say. Kudos. 🌹
Thank you dear Teddy. It must have been a challenge especially when you first moved to Italy. Language and culture to contend with. You would shine wherever you are. Always thankful for your encouragement and support. 🌹🏴

Yes, disagreeing doesn't make us enemies, makes us human with different opinions. While not dismising your convections, actknowledge others, discuss and learn from one another. Excellent write. Thank you.
