The Truth


 

The truth doesn’t always come out.

People have died with lies and secrets

They’ve kept to themselves.

But there are multiple things people lie about.

A lot of the time the truth doesn’t come out

Because one is concerned of anothers feelings.

But that’s no reason to hide the truth.

It will not get you a lot of friends but,

You will have much more respect than friends,

If you choose to be honest.

But the worst way to hide the truth is by

Manipulating your way through life.

That’s something you can not get away with.

Someone will out-smart you and

Stop you in your tracks and

Once you’re in a situation where

Everyone knows what you’re doing,

What are you going to do?

You can’t lie your way out anymore.

You’re forced to make the better decision,

Tell The Truth.
