Bitter Truth

 

I used to live in a world of lies,

Trickling happiness, nothing wise,

I held onto the words I wanted to believe,

But the truth was a raging sea.

Bitter truth, you cut like a knife,

A fork in the road, do I run or fight,

I'm spinning around, lost in strife,

Bitter truth, it's time to face the light.

Now I know that the world is cruel,

We're just pawns in an endless duel,

The promises and dreams we cling onto,

Vanish like memories that fade to blue.

Bitter truth, you cut like a knife,

A fork in the road, do I run or fight,

I'm spinning around, lost in strife,

Bitter truth, it's time to face the light.

The truth never ventures too far,

It's been hiding in plain sight this whole time,

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide,

Acceptance is key, I'm done with the lies.

Bitter truth, you cut like a knife,

A fork in the road, do I run or fight,

I'm spinning around, lost in strife,

Bitter truth, it's time to face the light.

The bitter truth is a hard pill to swallow,

But I know that it's better for me in the long run,

The deception is over, I can finally follow,

The truth that's always been there, it's begun.
