Truth


 

I try but just receive a lie.

Why can’t you say what is so true?

Don’t you know all I do is try?

In the end you will be hurting

And I will be spreading the word

About how you have been flirting

But I will have been undeterred.

For I know that I tell the truth

Because I know fact from fiction,

And you will be stuck in your youth.

You cannot break your addiction.

But I am strong and am working

And will look back at you, smirking.
