The Truth

The Truth

by Sally Michelle Jackson

So many times I hear people say

they want to hear the truth today.

I have to ask please make that clear

is it just the truth that you long to hear?

The reasons come back and so very loud

there is only one truth, that's all that's allowed.

But there is the truth that you have and see

which just isn't the truth that speaks to me.

We each hold in our heart and mind

an image of truth which our lives define.

But the truth for you is clouded as a dark crystal to me

while my truth is bright and glistens like sunlight on the sea.

How can this be there is only one truth and that is all

but if that is true then we must answer that same call.

We are all different you and me and there is a reason for all to see,

we are all different and within the difference is the very reason to be.

Wow, that was quick, were you reading over my shoulder while I wrote this?

Thank you so much, I don't get much encouragement about poetry in my day to day mundaine life, so I post it here with all of my true friends.

Love ya,

Sally

Dearest Sally,

Once again you have shown how just incredibly wise and sensitive you are. You must add this poem to your book of poems!! The truth?? Yes we may all express it differently from each other, but the single truth remains... We are all here, here at Laura's. The single truth that brings us all here is that we are all gender-gifted, and we have all found our way here. I cannot think of a greater singularity of truth than that!!

Love

I could never write a poem and i tried for years, but I embraced who I really was and one night I wrote a poem for a very dear friend here and others said that it was good and that was all I needed to hear, I now get a small notion often from posts that I have read and I write a poem, they want to be recorded so I type them.

Feel who you really are and love that person and write what you feel at that moment it has to be good!

My glib answer would be "ain't it the truth!"

But I won't do that.

Instead I will say - within the difference is the very reason to be - there you are!

And Sally - we are ALWAYS looking over your shoulder in a sense. We care and worry and want to make certain you know we are listening to what you say - and how you are. And that...

wellll...

You love us?

And we love you...

It is a dream of mine, but I need to write several more and I don't decide when or what to write - it just comes to me and I place it here.

Love ya,

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..

      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
