The truth can be based in fact

Or it can be based on the perspective of an individual.

Everyone knows of their “true” selves

Even if others deny it.

All individuals believe in their own truth.

How could one’s own truth be a lie if it’s their truth?

My truth is that I’m a disease.

Some sort of parasite.

I plunge into the lives of others

And I cause them pain as my relationship with them progresses.

Others deny this.

Others believe me to be good.

Pure.

But in my truth,

How could I be that when all I ever seem to do is cause people pain?

How could I be what they say

When the people I’m closest with are the first ones to shut me out?

How could I be anything but a disease?!

Personal truths aren’t set in stone though.

They are always subject change.

What happens when your “true” self changes?

Who are you as that change takes place?

I will my truth to stay the same.

I will it to remain untouched, so that I have a reason why everyone leaves!

But why do I feel compelled to take the blame?

Why do I feel that I need to be the wrong in someone else’s right?

I am nothing if not a disease.

Who will I be if I let my truth change?

I would be… lost.

Yes… I would be a lost fool with nothing but my own self pity keeping me afloat…

Or would I?

Who’s to say that I’m not a good person?

Who’s to say that I’m the wrong?

I have to let my truth change.

If my truth does not change then I’d be a lost fool.

I am no lost fool!

My truth will change!

I won’t let my old truth run me off the road to my new truth!

Personal truths can show what a person really thinks of themselves.

When a personal truth changes it can be horrific,

Or it can be beautiful.

Which will your change be?

My new truth is that I am a person who tries his best to be good

Though I may slip from time to time.

I am a person that won’t feel guilty for things out of my control.

I am a person that was subject to bad luck

But I won’t let it define me

Or my truth.

Now, who are you to say my truth isn’t true?
