Truth

My inconvenient truth


As I sat and listened
The truth came
Plain and without sound and
Took a seat right behind the
Left side of my head
There it sat and motioned towards
The exit sign

Not an escape
Truth said
Just true

I sat and let truth come
He came and sat next to me and
Delivered the news in a manner
All calm and professional
Not a note of humor
Just the truth behind the wisdom of
The voice in my head

Not wrong
Truth said
Just true

I stood and let truth slide away
Tried to walk away
The problem with truth, he admitted
It’s never anything more and yet never less
Than everything for today and this moment
Once its there its there
Its just true
