A poetic invitation to liberation. A look into the mirror with grace staring back.
In his debut poetry collection, Just Be Honest, Alexander James asks, "If the truth will set you free, what path do lies set you on?" Lies do not offer a path; they build a cage. However, with radical honesty, that cage can become a cocoon. James pleads that the only way to break free from what trauma told us to be and from the cage lies built for us is to Just Be Honest.
