The Truth will set you free
But free from what??
The ******* of the heart??
It relives the heart but restricts activities
It relies on a pace maker to keep it in check
But it also deprives a heart of it's pace maker
And sometimes kills a heart

Lying  puts a war to hold
It sometimes heals the heart faster
It relives the heart of it's burden for a while
But needs to be checked upon, fed, nurtured or the heart explodes from the toxic effect of lie.

Withholding the truth keeps the heart pounding faster than normal
It sometimes fails the pacemaker
And beats scarily faster than other organs can handle
It adapts quickly to a temporary control
It adapts strongly to a permanent control
Either ways it adapts

The Truth heals the heart and destroys a heart
A lie, heals the heart and destroys a heart
What then truly makes us free??
Humanity is a contradiction between circumstances and expectations
