Truth

Seen @ Favim.Com

The truth is sometimes so difficult to spill.
The words sometimes don't flow as they should.
They sort of curdle and turn lumpy in ones throat so that it
takes forever for the words to come up and to form upon ones lips.
Sometimes, the truth hurts and kills
but I reckon a truth unsaid pokes at your insides
like a sharp sword twisting and turning, cutting you up slowly but surely.
I believe too that at the end of the day
even if you have set in motion a chain of events
that lead to sadness and pain and a whole lot of hurt,
the truth is essential to undo your chains and fetters.
So speak the truth even if your voice shakes,
even if the tears flow, even if the blows fall upon you repeatedly,
even if you are shunned, even if your heart breaks.

The truth will set you free.
