it's hard to admit the truth.
maybe cause you've been lying for so long that it now feelings like a secret,
and if you tell someone it can be a secret no longer.

or maybe you've just come to terms with yourself that it is the truth.
that it's not something you just made up in your head.
it's something you buried down in the depths of your mind because you didn't want anyone finding it.
even yourself.

now, whether you've always known it's the truth or not.
it's still hard to admit
—to yourself or out loud to someone else.

even though, you know it's the truth, you might feel like if you say it out loud it'll become real.
because when you say it out loud,
when you admit it out loud
in the open
it becomes a
realization.

it's when you finally realize
that admitting the truth isn't so bad

it's like a weight lifted off your shoulders.
a hand no longer pressed against your chest.
you can finally breathe again

because sometimes
the truth isn't so hard to understand.
