TruthLong ago I wrote my wisest words of that young ageTruth3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics
I had written many lines, but most I would reject
Suddenly my pencil then entrusted to the page
that the Truth is always more important than its side effects.
And I never knew
If I had written truth
I've been thinking ever since to find the greatest truth
to make sense of the paradox confusing all our lives
A philosopher I soon became
the subject has since stayed the same
Should we think, or should we feel; will the wits or heart survive
And I never knew
How to find the truth
Now, did i finally find the right way
to live, and help you from sorrow?
I'd tell you to know about yes

why I ever caught your attention
I never thought myself as beautiful
as remarkable, as amazing
and yet you tell me everyday
I am
So long a time
I believed something so different
ridiculed by many
shunned by the rest
But now that I have you
it is so much different
my head once again held high
showing who I really am
It doesn't matter what others think
not anymore
Your words are all I need
your touch is all I feel
My smile is only for you
Because when you tell me
I'm beautiful
remarkable
amazing
I believe you
as I hope you believe me
when I say the same
Because it is the truth
At least in my opinion

Truth has become reality's biggest nightmare
Which always becomes buried by those in despair
For is it more noble to bite one's tongue until it turns red
Or let truth accumulate until his heart pumps out dread?
My intuition has led me to the truth many times before
Of which I have realized truth is not the cure
But what is the truth when every character has a story
Upon which each owner desires to claim truth's glory?
For it is comforting for those to retreat from their fears
Or deny truth exists and mask it with cheers
What ignorant mortals for them I take sorrow
For truth will target and haunt them tomorrow
As for myse

I envy you a lot
The bonds that you all share
Are what I've always sought
I don't think that I can
Ever have such things
Because of who I am
With my insecurities
I crave the touch of a friend
But I'm too scared to ask
I don't want to seem needy
So I'll just wear a mask
I'll keep it all inside
The loneliness and pain
Otherwise I'll burden you
Which will make me so ashamed
Although I don't deserve you
I don't want to be alone
To keep you from leaving me
I'll give up everything I own

Truth in TearsThere is always truth,Truth in Tears4 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
To be found in tears
Truth of love,
When you are held near
Truth of excitement,
Laughter and pain
Truth of passion and desire,
Truth of strain
No tears are faked,
Although it may just astound,
All of us to find,
Just what they are cried about
Some are tears of joy,
Some are tears of shame,
They are cried when we cannot leave,
Cried when we cannot remain
There is always truth,
To be found in tears,
And in that crystal moment,
That truth becomes clear
It can be truth of innocence,
Or truth of a hard fight
It could be truth of hello,
Or truth of good-bye
There is truth in tears,
Because tears, we c

At the present time,
I am enthralled by everyone -
and no one.
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
but it doesn't compliment
the chip
on my shoulder.
I take each of these words
and try to wrap them up
in meaning,
only to come off
wrapped up
in myself.
I will get taken at face value.
I will get taken advantage of.
I will eventually get taken away.
The only time I can remember
being in the subway
I was on my way
to see a building
full of memories
and monuments
to the dead.
Somehow, that seems fitting.

It was just another day at an unproductive World Conference in the country of France, when the Countries started a feisty game of truth or dare...
"Fine, I pick dare," China said stubbornly.
"Alright," France said as he reclined back into his seat, "I dare you to confess your feelings to whom you love~" Prussia and Spain smirked, and averted their eyes to the tall Russian man sitting patiently with his usual creepy smile.
"Da, go on, you can tell Russia how you feel. We can become one then." Russia assured contently.

The Truth About ForeverThe truth about foreverThe Truth About Forever6 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Is that there is no truth at all
It was just a turn-a-phrase
That left me so enthralled
The truth is truly nothing but
A fictional fantasy one must learn
To believe in quixotic theories that
Like love, one must begin to yearn
For without that love there is no hope
And without aspiration one cannot thrive
Without an emotion so ardent and pure
I find it so difficult to feel alive
It's sad but true, this lesson I've learned
About losing someone so close
Someone who said he'd be with me forever
Someone in whom I was so engrossed
The truth about forever
Is but a mere dream in my head
And all the longing I
