Tell me the truth!

So I found this picture saved in my laptop with a poem on it. I thought it was really deep so I thought I'd post it here.


Tell Me

Tell me I'm clever,
Tell me I'm kind,
Tell me I'm talented,
Tell me I'm cute,
Tell me I'm sensitive,
Graceful and wise,
Tell me I'm perfect--
But tell me the truth. 


I believe it was written by Shel Silverstein, who is a fabulous children's poet despite the fact that he looks like a pirate ;)
The poem reminded me of people who think they're perfect & don't see the truth that they really aren't. It reminded me of people who somehow can't tell the truth. And last, it reminded me of people who just can't handle the truth.
Okay, I've been procrastinating at my homework all weekend & I'm thinking it's time to start my APUSH assignment. Goodnight all. :)
