If the truth were told...

by

Sherene Delgado

the lies within lies
you use the ones you love to hide your secrets
they protect you from the ugly reality you’ve created
while they marvel at your perfection
the beauty of your face that conceal the ugliness within
a pretty package that hides the suffering you cause with a ready smile
no one else has ever matter but you in your mind
too fragile to face life and the ugliness it holds for the simple people
yet you seem willing to bring down those who look at the possibilities life offers
what would happen if the truth were told?
would the light that shines upon you dim?
or would it burn out completely?
would you feel sorry for what you’ve done ?
would you have sympathy for those you’ve hurt?
or will you just find another shield to cloak your true self?
