Honest 
what is it to be
honest          to tell it like it is...for you               your truth
it is the only way
to write          the only way to be                 get down and dirty  
get the grim in your
knuckles       reaching for the truth       each moment of each
day
the bell rings
clear                it is in every aspect of my life                 work and play
when i say               how are
you              yes                            i really want to know
when i tell you i've
messed things up                           that is exactly what i have done
is it dishonest                                when we do things   by mistake  
perhaps the brain is
going soft                        & soon we will be led around by a nurse
but not today                  i
still make choices                          but maybe more mistakes
there will be a
day                            i can give up responsibility  for mistakes
but until then              i
will still have to explain as best i can             my honest mistakes

I love "get the grim in your knuckles". Good poem, Annell. I resonate with the gradual decline of brain-power, but thank God, for today we're still creating!
This is so beautiful.... it provoked my thought process :)
Loved it!

Sigh...the honest mistakes we've all made.
