Truths

For every truth, I've told a lie 

This isn't something I admit easily 

because the truth becomes a broken piece of me 

that I hollow and hide 

cocoon in a web of lies. 


But for every lie I've told a truth 

This is something I can say freely

As the lies are nice, but not entirely

The truth becomes a pillow 

my mind becomes the bed. 


And I guess this is what they call being honest 

Being open with yourself 

On open days the lies will sit 

waiting on a shelf 

waiting for me to change the bedsheets.
