There are no hidden agendas <br />in my writings or my life. <br />No subliminal messages <br />I feel I have to get through. <br />My life is too much an open book <br />with the good and bad I have done <br />and my writing speaks for itself, <br />mainly simple and full of fun. <br />Life is too short to go without trust <br />with both friends you can and cannot see. <br />I am not a very clever man, <br />but someone who is simple and honest <br />and the things I write are based on the same principal. <br />I do not lie to those I can see <br />and I do not lie to those I cannot. <br />If someone wants to hurt me <br />and destroy the trust I have in them, <br />they can do that so very easily. <br />However, what will they gain from that? <br />Probably only the loss of a very beloved friend. <br />I have no hidden agendas <br />within anything I do <br />and the only person I ever hurt at times is only ever me. <br />I am sometimes too trusting <br />with everyone who comes my way <br />with friends seen and unseen. <br />I always want to believe they are as open as me, <br />and have no hidden agendas <br />and are only out to deceive. <br />Sadly, in some cases, they are <br />and I admit that I have been hurt now and then. <br />We do not really know anyone, <br />but hope they are as honest as we, <br />with no hidden agendas tucked up their sleeve. <br /> <br />22 February 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-hidden-agendas/
