in our world
kindness is weakness
honesty is brutal
lies are sweet as honey

in our world
kindness can’t be found
honesty comes at the wrong moments
lies are abundant as the people who speak them

very true. love the line "honesty comes at the wrong moments". when you need the honest words they failed you but when you don't want them to flow, they do. love it.

&quot;I think it&#039;s fairly common for writers to be afflicted with two simultaneous yet contradictory delusions- the burning certainty that we&#039;re unique geniuses and the constant fear that we&#039;re witless frauds who are speeding toward epic failure.&quot; -Lynch
