The truth lies there inside us,
No one knows.
Like a cold side of a knife,
So useful yet so powerful and dangerous.
Like a snake in the grass.
We know it's there but choose to ignore it.
And walk away.
It lies there inside us.
We wonder, does anybody know.
Does anybody care.
Who will it hurt.
Should I dare.
Unfold the truth to the outside.
People looking in on my perfect globe.
Penetrating the surface of its side.
Who will it hurt.
Who will it bother.
I choose to be in denial.
But it is still there.
The lie is so much easier.
So hard to hide, swallow, chew, and hold inside.
The truth can set you free.
Like the sun coming out from the clouds.
So warm and bright on your face.
Feels so soothing.
That sunny place.
Its gone again beyond the sky.
The truth exposed, is still a LIE
