My Truth Doesn't Hurt

Just because it hurts doesn't mean that it's the truth.

By Caitlyn WenzelPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

You watch baseless propaganda

On your American TV.

Tell me, “you’re always on that phone!”

While you stay glued to that screen.

I point out every fallacy,

Every hypocritical claim.

But you keep spouting nonsense,

Why have you no shame?

Just because it hurts

Doesn’t mean that it’s the truth;

You can throw around hateful lies

Without an ounce of proof.

So now every time you utter

Something crude and rude; uncivil,

I’ll write you into tangled webs

And drown out your jarring drivel.

About the Creator

Caitlyn Wenzel

I don't live to write, I write to live.

Poetry is what I need in order to feel human again, and again.

Let me transform the unspeakable.

I hope my words can reach you.
