Truth

Lying is bad!

Or so They say

They’ll hate you;

They’ll despise you;

Cry wolf and They’ll turn a blind ear.

***

Lying is bad,

Tell them the truth!

Be honest and They’ll love you.

Or so They say

***

Lying is bad

But lies don’t hurt

So put on a filter and utter those words

***

Lying is bad?

But what if the truth hurts?

What would you do when you could kill with those words?

***

Lying is bad.

And the truth will hurt.

Be brutally honest, that scars them the worst.

***

The truth always hurts.

But I don’t care.

Although they will hate me;

I’ll be an honest man.

***
