A Poem about Truth

Truth is often sought after

Yet it is elusive

Almost within reach

But the facade and lies are keeping it hidden

Truth, I seek you

You are a comfort in the storm

Knowing that if I still pursue

I will find you

I abide in truth

Continuing to hold you in the highest regard

Forsaking the norm

Tear down the walls

Stop the mockery

The only side of the story I want is truth

Reading between the lines

No longer mystified

I see clearly

I've caught a glimpse of something real

Choosing to stoke the flame of truth

Once an ember, a glimmer, a tiny flame

Let the truth burn in me

Consume my thoughts

Guide my steps

What started out as a want has now become a need

A longing I can't deny

Tired of pretending and so many false pretenses

Can we all just be honest?

Can we all be true?

Can we all be one – me and you?

Truth requires a voice

Someone has to say something

Anyone, anywhere?

Truth calls

The echo is almost deafening

We have to be carriers

Carriers of truth

Now is the time

I've made up my mind

I will speak truth from the lowest valley to the highest peak

Because there is a place where truth reigns
