Secrets... To Hide is to Lie

Secrets... To Hide is to Lie

In another of my insomniac moments the other night I found myself surfing the boob tube to find something that would put me to sleep. Instead I found "Unfaithful". This is the movie in which a beautiful older woman decides to have a secret affair which ultimately results in a twisted series of events. I must make it known that I have seen this movie previously. I guess that in my daze I was sucked in to the drama. So what began as a search for for a means to sleep transformed into an inspirational look at the dishonesty of some relationships. This movie has a crazy ability to make the viewer reflect upon there own relationship with such a questionable eye. After the movie was said and done, I let the pen go and I came up with my look at the potential dishonesty some relationships may face.

Secrets
By: Jason Byrd

“I always had a crush on you”
Causes questions in my head
And what secrets do you hide from me
How many other things were said

Don’t judge a book by its faces
Wait to read what hides inside
If attention is paid to details
It reveals the feelings denied

I hope you don’t try and hurt me
Revenge is my oldest friend
Only things that will be left standing
Tis I and my dear oldest friend

I love you too much to do this
I simply can not hide the pain
And no matter what it is you say
You are taking my love in vain

About Me... A Tale of Two Personalities.

About Me... A Tale of Two Personalities.

As I sat and read my blog, I realized that I did not have anything in the "About Me" page nor did I have anything describing myself in any way. To this point I have only written when I was emotional, so I thought I would write something I thought myself. I have never done a reflective piece. As it turns out, I really enjoyed it a lot. In all honesty, I will most likely do another similar piece soon as I did enjoy it. Perhaps I could write about others in a similar manner. At any rate.. here I am as a poem, I hope you enjoy.

High Octane Emotion
By: Jason Byrd

I am burning high octane as
The friction builds and the temperatures rise

With a roar I accelerate from 0 to 60 with
Such quickness I am startled and surprised

The soundtrack of my life has been randomly cycled from
A Brushfire Fairytale to the fierceness of Pennywise

A fresh coat of Black embraces a Blood red set
Of numbers that becomes the haunting face of my disguise

At extreme speeds I begin to shake and loose control
While the glare of passing lights is blinding my eyes

After pushing the red line my fuel has been emptied and
As I spin out of control I calmly refocus my attention to the prize
