Please don't let me be misunderstood

My honesty has been inexhaustibly forthcoming.
Silence may have more gracefully expunged the ink blots of my heart,
but an honest declaration seemed preferable to deceitful intrigue.

I exposed my soul to all those whom I was capable of damaging.
It was my intention to avoid destruction by acting nobly,
but pure intentions can sour easily when given a name.

Goodwill and sincerity on the tongue of the speaker can turn to
Jealousy and sorrow on the ears of the listener.
Truth becomes relative.
