The Truth

The Truth

The truth can hurt,
Burn right through your thoughts…
Giving light to the darkness
And open the eyes of the blind.
Change has never been comfortable
We can see this with every season
That passes year after year
Hot, to cool, to cold, to warm
Allergies, flu’s, colds, dehydration, stress…
But the overall beauty of change
Is like the squirmy worm cocooning
And flourishing into a beautiful butterfly…
Or think of the blossoming of a rose…
Or the amazing feelings of love found
In the arms of that one individual…
Truth can lead to greater places
Before it metamorphizes from
Not so good to excellent.
No one is born writing their name
It is a process of time,
Yet truth is truth,
We are told things
In which stories were created by
Lives have been changed by some of these
But then the lies too have caused
Many myths and stories
To destroy many lives…
The truth is best learned
By seeing someone else live it
Not so much proclaim it…
Too many have fought for their meaning of truth
Losing themselves in the process
And never again taking another breath.
The truth is best lived, not said.
We choose the choices
Which lead to our freedom
Or our slavery.
Be careful what you adopt
As your truth in this life
That was given to you.
No one knows every detail
But the truth comes to those seeking to do good
And live as we were meant to…
Truth or lie?
I cannot say,
I can only live.
