Bittersweet Honesty

Just as time heals, reflection often clears and reveals the bittersweet and honest details of hidden painful and hopeful moments in the recesses of our minds.

With this in mind, Bittersweet Honesty, by author Isabella Patton, offers an exploration of the highs and lows of love, life, and death. These verses present an expression of inner turmoil that seeks to bring peace of mind. Even in the midst of darkness, light can be found, and in the depth of silence, one can hear the sweet noise of the world leading us to life. Written in the heat of various moments throughout Pattons life, this poetry considers a full array of experiences of one woman and of the world at large. It examines love, loss, and life thereafter in Christ Jesus, demonstrating a deep and solid foundation of spiritual wisdom and faith.


AM I

Am I the womanthe woman that you see?

On every womans face you meet

When youre walking down the street,

Are you searching just for me?

If I offer you my heart,

Love you tenderly to start,

Will you break it all in parts

Or discard as damaged art?

Can you love me, heart and soul?

Commit your all to have and hold?

Am I not the one you want?

Honestly, tell me if you dont.
