A Comforting Honesty

as deep as things may seem

simplicity is much too calming

my senses prefer a comforting honesty

sincerity. yet then again.. dreaming

wishing,  hoping most times makes things worthwhile

especially when i make them come true in my mind

in my own world where my own life exists

the same life you live though

a different perspective could destroy mine

and i fear for the truth

the truth is supposed to be one of the joys

one of the requirements of the fairy tale

though i have come to realization that

the truth.. could also be as painful as a lie, if not more.

and deep in my world.. is a truth. a painful truth.

the truth that is hidden among the smiling faces

and the long kisses. behind the gentle touches

and tender moments. a truth.. where by what they say becomes true

the truth shall set you free

and that it has.

I don't know what to say other than to speak on the power of this peace. There are the haunting truths the skeletons in the closet, that we all bear. There is no escape from the pain those truths cause, no sancuary from their hurt, but you speak the truth to it when you say that the Truth shall set you free.
