The Truth’s Truth

A.M. Morgan

Don't want a fairytale

I am addicted to the truth

I do not like anything sugarcoated

However, I will not be disrespectful just for a point I am trying to prove

For heaven only knows how much of my own character I need to improve

Behind closed doors the person in the mirror surrenders to the impact of past wounds

No longer can I deny that words hurt knowing my soul feels colder with each blow

Eventually, I will let it all go but for now it is painful, what reality shows

However, I still do not want a fairytale

I am still addicted to the truth

I still do not like anything sugarcoated

However, I accept that I cannot expect everyone to always speak and wear the truth

    I am also addicted to the truth, however, not so much when it comes to things about myself. Great poem; thanks.

    The truth can be a hard but potentially life (if not soul) -saving pill to swallow!
