Storytelling

Collage reading “FRAGMENTED TRUTH,” “TRUST,” “LIES DISSOLVE,” “STORIES TOLD,” “HONESTY IS EVERYTHING,” “TRUTH REMAINS,” “Pixelated memories,” “FRAGMENTED STORIES,” “THE REAL YOU,” “THE SHADOWS,” “DARKNESS & LIGHT,” and “PIXELATED STORIES & HONEST SHADOWS.”

I wince
my truth is underplayed
my honesty suspected
for I happen to be
a storyteller

stories are pixelated truth
fragments of thoughts
floating through humanity


And if my words are shadows on the wall,
is it deception—
or the only way to touch the light?

  1. The honesty in this poem about the paradox of storytelling, fragments as truth, shadows as light is stunning. You’ve answered your own question perfectly: it’s not deception; it’s the truest way we know how to touch what matters most. Beautiful work, Reena. 💫
