Give me the truth
One thing I learned about lying
Is the upkeep cost is too high
Because you have to lie again to maintain a lie
So tell me the truth
Even if it curls your upper lip
And brings salty disappointment to trusting eyes
I can’t live in the dark
Unaware of the light
Always wondering why the story didn’t make sense
Sensing the inconsistencies in my mind
Knowing that I’m being deceived
By a fallacy that is wasting my precious time
So tell me the truth
I triple dog dare you to be honest
Be the opposite of mainstream news
And tell me the unpopular reality
Minus the saxophone blues
Give me the meat with the bones
Leave no stone unturned in it’s deliverance
Either way it goes down like bitter medicine
The hardest part is admitting to it’s sour taste
Accepting it comes with time
But even if it desolates
The life I believed to be fine
I would like to hear it,
All the same
Because you can’t have the sunshine
Without a little rain
Love always, Esha ❤
