I have been watching/reading way too much Wizard of Oz and fairy tales.
Advice From the Wicked
By Jesi Scott
Wicked I am and
Wicked I be,
Or so says all
Of the publicity.
But evil is
As evil does…
And you shouldn’t judge
Because
You never know
What’s behind the door.
You don’t know
What’s gone before.
Truth is never
As plain as it seems,
And people change,
Or so time deems.
So keep in mind that
Evil and good
Might not appear
As they should.
Sometimes the right thing
Can be wrong,
And sometimes the wicked
Have been right all along.

Jesi Scott is an aspiring writer of novels, a poet, and blogger. She has guest-blogged over at The Well-Tempered Bards, and has a post featured at For Love Of…. Jesi has two poems published in Memories of Mist, a literary anthology, and one published story in a newsletter. She is currently working on releasing her first poetry collection as well as writing her first novel. When not writing, Jesi can be found getting lost in bookstores, singing and dancing around the house, experiencing culture with friends, and generally having fun with her four sons when they aren’t driving her weeping into her closet, which she calls her Padded Cell. She loves to rescue stray bookmarks, as well as books, and has opened her heart to any and all stories needing a home. Archery is her current favorite thing ever but you might want to stand back a little as she still has a tendency to drop the bow occasionally.

Always so difficult to know right from wrong. And someone’s truth is so different from someone else’s :-/
Jesi
I still stand by my belief that it’s all in the perspective. 🙂

Yes, that’s sort ofwhat I meant. I know my ex is convinced he is right. I’m not so sure. Who knows the truth?
Jesi
Isn’t that always the question? 🙂
Dawn D
I believe the difference is whether you’re aware of that fact or not… I don’t think he is…
Jesi
Narcissists never are.

The simple format here conceals some deep truths… 🙂
Jesi
I’ve always felt that simplicity tends to make a more powerful statement.

I agree
