HONESTLY

“Honestly,….”

Why do we say that?

Why do we sometimes add that?

Is it because of emphasis,

or because sometimes

we know - really down deep -

we haven’t paused enough to ponder,

“What is the truth here?”

Honestly?

Didn’t someone famous say,

“And the truth will set you free”?

Honesty!

And several people add

comments like,

“But first it will hurt,”

or “make us miserable,”

or "cost us".

Honestly.
