6. The Truth

Afraid to face the truth,

Of what is in my heart.

I need to see the proof,

That you won’t break it apart.

I’m so tired of trying so hard,

I can’t do enough to please you.

Every time, I see you, I drop my guard,

I just don’t know what to do.

All I want now is the truth,

Now that I’m strong enough to see.

I’m no longer the girl you knew,

I’m a woman, the new improved me.

I don’t want a cheap explanation,

Or some stupid alibi.

I won’t accept any hesitation,

Because it will prove it’s just another lie.
