SIMPLE

We can leave false clues
in hope to attract
The person of our dreams
especially if we lack
Skills that we dream of
shallow and unreal
And so in a lie
our future we can seal

Being ourselves,
may be boring to some
Yet changing the truth
means the liar becomes
A person who can never
relax and act free
Safe in ones own skin
means holding life's key

Simple is easy
each smile is a gift
Caring for another
gives a daily lift
But if you resent
each moment you spend
Giving your all
when your future depends

On someone not you
that makes you whole
Then you have missed
a true loving goal
That comes from sharing
all that you own
Not dividing your life
and other beds roam

Life becomes boring
stressful, filled with rain
You seek for real sunshine,
a true happiness gain
Love is unconditional
to give and not take
This....the reality
that true happiness makes.

I don't think that any of us can be really happy unless we are 'Living The Truth'.

Would it not be terribly stressful to constantly have to remember who or what 'we are supposed to be'?

Thought provoking subject, and beautifully written.

Thank you for your comment Maddy....doglover.......and although there is more opportunity to deceive online, it has always been the same in real life......only time can give us those clues to the real person...but yes, to relax in a relationship has to be more rewarding and healthy.......Kathycheering
