Truth

addynicole

What is truth?  

Someone's defined reality....

Someone's avoidance of reality....

Do we define our truth or is it given to us..

Can we trust what sits before us

Is it truth or is it what is only shown..

Does the darkness hold what's true?

Can light ever truly shine in that darkness.

The darkness is but our minds, and yet one of the realities hiding quietly away.

 

Truth is pain

Truth is freedom and a hand pulling you toward the surface.  

It gives you air.

Stops the drowning, shatters chains.

Brings warmth amongst the cold, as the light shines pushing away the dark.  

 

Can we find the truth amongst the darkness and lies.

Is our heart prepared for real truth?

Does our heart need to remain shielded from the truth?

 

What is truth but our personal defined reality...

What we are willing to see...

But what is also visible amongst the dark.  

 

Keep me heart from the truth I cannot with stand...

Eyes go beyond the darkness and see truth.....

Mind understand what is truth and what is lies.

Save me truth....what ever you may be.

    Truth - What is it? Some things have a certitude, the Sun is in the sky, the moon, the planets ,etc. These certainties usually are in the realm of Nature. "Truth," though is a creation of Man. As such, it is prone to interpretation. To each of us ,"Truth" is what we know. Thus, education leads to a greater refinement of it. When all is said and done, "Truth" can be found only within one's heart.
    Terrific poem (a few typos) and that's the truth. I truly enjoyed your poem. It caused me to stop and think. - Phil A.
