When words are spoken
Mean what you say
Truth is unbroken
Keep it that way.
–
Choose them with care
Don’t give into fears
Lay yourself bare
Even with tears.
–
Just use your head
Go with the flow
Follow your heart instead
Since it’s what you know.

Telling the truth after many lies
Is like threading a needle through 2 eyes
Increasing difficulty is no surprise
Far too late as you will realize
As the hard tolls add up and suffice.

Difficult and daunting at best
Guaranteeing little or no rest
Always something to get off your chest
Useless energy you must invest
And more needed lies to divest.
–
It’s living your life against the grain
Riddled, complications and pain
Enough to drive anyone insane
Only the selfish are this vain
Drivers of their runaway train.
–
It is far better to embrace honesty
Far better for you, far better for me
The truth inside will set you free
That’s the healthiest place to be
I say from my life’s experience certainty…
