Your Own Truth

Donna Cavanagh

Lies and Truth so closely intertwined

We need to see beyond the veil
To question that which seems so real
Truth is not about rules we are taught
Our own will, truth does not shake or steal

We need to seek what is true
And recognize the colorful disguise
That so carefully tries to close our minds
And poisons our hearts with complex lies

To find truth, open your heart
Let it breathe and find its own light
Your heart will lead you to your own path
And to the truth of what is wrong or right
