To Know Truth

/

A reflection on knowledge of Truth

------

…may we know Truth?

Will Truth reveal itself to us

Like a flower

Petals opening to the Sun

For all to see?

Or will Truth mask its arrival

So that only those who seek it

Rejecting lies and myth and folly

May find it in reward of their quest?

 

Having found Truth

Who amongst us can comprehend it?

Amongst lots, u geminated 

You had a chance 

Others wish they may just see some light

The Truth

/

…truth is I'm tired 

I'm tired of going through the day with this ol used up worn down smile I plaster on my face 

Only to return back home to deal with all the emotions that I displace

The truth is I'm tired 

My emotions have grown dull and my reactions ain't the same as they use to…
