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
