TRUTH AND LIES
I know there are things that need to be
said.
I can hear the words but the truth seems
to be dead.
Life as I know it keeps changing and
everything is slipping away.
All I can do is close my eyes and dream
of yesterday.
Reality is a chameleon that lives in an illusion
of what is true.
You can no longer believe me and I can’t
believe you.
To get green you must mix yellow and
blue
When you mix the truth with lies you get
a whole new hue.
Lies are just bandages to keep the truth
from bleeding through.
Sometimes the truth can cut so deep
there’s nothing you can do.
Lies can cover your wounds but will
always leave a scar.
When life leaves you bleeding the truth
is the best medicine by far.
Telling lies over time can leave you
feeling hollow.
Hearing the truth sometimes can be very
hard to swallow.
Sometimes lies are what are used to hide
a scandal
Because for some the truth is hard to
handle.
Lies are dirty aberrations buried under
trash and debris.
The truth can be naked for the whole
world to see.
Lies when savored can leave a bad taste
As the truth is stretched just to make a
case.
Lies can shield you from the things in
life that hurt.
The truth can be a weapon to serve a
just dessert.
Sticking to a lie will keep you in
chains for eternity.
When given the opportunity the truth
will set you free.
Smoke and mirrors are made to deceive.
But what is smoke and what are mirrors
and what can my eyes believe?
Sometimes lies hide in tall blades of
the truth.
To find these lies you have to see the
clues like a sleuth.
Lies come in many colors and live in
every dimension.
There are many shades of the truth but
only one will get you redemption.
Lies are like balloons under water, they
will always float to the top.
When the truth picks up momentum, it can’t
be stopped.
