My truth

March 8, 2023
By Anonymous


I've traveled to many places

Places frowned upon,

Smiled above

I tell nothing but the truth.


I have seen the dirt and the poor on the streets 

The people still smiling with nothing

Yet they have love,

I tell nothing but the truth.


I've seen people sad going up to their office

Sad driving their expensive car,

No heart left 

I tell nothing but the truth. 


I've seen these communities come together and laugh 

Nothing but they have gratitude

Storys to tell, 

I tell nothing but the truth.


Millions in money yet they have nothing

Depression in their veins,

As they have no smiles left to give

I tell nothing but the truth.


Money can't make you happy 

But your experiences can, 

Live life because it is your last

I tell nothing but the truth.
