– Truth And Consequences –
When the first thing
that you’ve ever been taught
is how to lie,
you don’t know
what truth really is.
The opposite of truth
is not just a lie;
the opposite of truth is disease.
Our secrets keep us sick.
When we finally step out
from the lies and into the light,
we find ourselves revealed in that sickness,
our former notions of honesty
peeled away like a second skin;
Uncover,
discover,
discard.
