Speak
When you speak ask yourself
Is this the truth?
Or just you adapting
When words are real
They mean what they mean
When works are fake
They have no meaning
Truth can hurt sometimes
But it’s usually for the best
Lies are unreal words
Words need to be truthful
Without truth there is no Love
Without Love where is it all?
Truth ties into everyone’s life
So do lies
It’s learning how to hold onto the truth
While the lies fade away to dust
Truth is what will help form this world into a better place
It’s simple
But can be hard at the same time
Once your mind opens to the truth of the world
Then you really see what is real and what is fake
