TRUTH AND LIES

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.
