Uncomfortable truth.
It might be silent after.
At least they know.

For the record
I have those feelings
The feelings I promised I didn't have

An uncomfortable truth to admit
Don't be silent
I don't act upon it

So I hear the trio of voices once more
I can't afford to be a coward
So I listen to these voices

They say it together
Uncomfortable silence and an uncomfortable truth
Doesn't this hurt?

Well, yes but it's apart of adulting
β€œThe guilt of not saying something?”
Well, I do have that but what about the guilt if I do?
β€œFor the record, this is self-destructive.”
Well, For the record, I know. Let those feelings die.

I'll let my uncomfortable truth become a memory
When that memory fades, we will stay just Best Friends
Best friends forever that don't have feelings like that for you anymore

So I got asked,
"Would you rather...An Uncomforting Truth or A Comforting Lie?"
And I think the truth is always best...
In class writing promt made a poem.
