to tell the truth

It is not only what you see.

There is much more there than it seems.

People wear masks to hide regret

And throw away things trying to forget.

Secrets and lies, from past times

Are disguised, leaving people blind.

So tell me the truth, through words you find.

Don’t try to hide what’s real behind.

While people hide, it’s here we find

Truth in words, leaving nothing behind.

Write to tell the truth, something to give meaning to

It is not only what you see.

There is much more in poems you read.
