Shameless
Oh how I wish I could approach life
Audacious.
Rather than ashamed
for behavior that others might consider
Unacceptable.
Not holding back,
Feeling freedom in
Expressing myself, speaking and acting out,
rather than
hiding thoughts and emotions
that might embarrass my family, my friends, or me.
Thank you Joyce Maynard
For being described as shameless
And reveling in the compliment.
It’s time for more of us to be
Courageous
And tell the real story
Of our life.
Critics may call it
Oversharing.
Some of us call it
Truth.
Critics may call it
Oversharing.
Some of us call it
Truth.
