Truth & Lies


The pain is too much to bare

What can they say, hello there?

The don't see what I can see

They don't see the truth

"What is that," 

"O, it's just the truth."

"Why don't we go to the lies instead. The truth is too much to bare."

With truth comes pain

Yet with lies come gain?

You thought it was easy?

Well your wrong, 

Truth may be right but lies can be a delight
