I Need You to be Honest, Not Kind ... (August 25th Entry for Honorary Indian)

When I say be honest, I mean it.

Don’t sugar coat

Don’t look for answers that soothe.

Be HONEST and thereby respectful.

Show me you care

And that you value who I am

Not by shielding me,

But with your honesty.

Do not insult my intelligence

Or leave me to drown in ‘whys’.

Be honest and straightforward.

Look me in the eyes

And tell me you love another.

Tell me you aren’t attracted to me.

Tell me the truth.

Let me at least be able to leave

Respecting you and

Not despising you for your deceit.

Have the balls to be honest

Not just when it makes me smile

But even when

It makes me cry.

Then and only then

Will I ever believe

That you truly loved

And knew me.
