Truthful


Speak the words of truth,

I do believe, in turn, your heart to soothe.

However, quite the opposite does occur;

It turns you, like a storm that juts begun to stir.

At first quiet, then to rage,

Your mind rushes to its most fearful stage.

 

Even though it comes and goes,

It's quick to come, as if it was on its tip toes.

 

For the words of truth are never to soothe,

Yet they become more bitter when first played as the sleuth.

The extraction of thoughts must be produced eloquently into words. For those afraid to speak, speak of the best.
