The Truth
Image by Swami Stream via Flickr
Facts are facts …until they are blurred.
Lies are not always untrue, at least… so I’ve heard.
Stories are often more exciting than real life…
Yet, Sometimes the truth cuts like a knife.
and the lessons of school are not necessarily the rule.
If one can’t keep up with these trends…
then they wind up the fool.
Reading between the lines is not always necessary
but when it is…
some people just don’t get it.
Often many would sooner believe in a fairy…
than to see the truth …
unless it is to their benefit.
More often than not we all lie to ourselves
because the truth is not always pretty
and sometimes we laugh at the truth
because we know the reality of it is shared by all
even when we struggle to not to make it seem so…
the truth is the always seen by the heart…
even when it hurts
Perhaps that is why the truth is always the most sought after piece of reality that I will ever work to know…
even when understanding it may be devastatingly ugly at least I will always know where I stand when I know it.

Thank You for the reminder! As for those that don’t know Renee I strongly recommend a visit… she is a great journalist friend of mine! Here is some of her most recent work http://wp.me/P1g74l-I
Thank You and you are welcome. That’s what friends are for, yes? @->-
Hmm.. quite something to ruminate upon, should we face the truth even though it may be unpleasant or stay in a fairy tale world where all is fine? Good questions raised here.
Thank you for your visit…these were the thoughts I had and where I ultimately made my mind up to settle. Ultimately I think we all will face similar thought on this subject in our lives…It is really a very personal topic to reflect on….makes me feel at peace releasing it from my mind! Peace be with you!
welcome,,smiles..
agree with above comments, thanks for sharing.. have fun.

“even when we struggle to not to make it seem so…
the truth is the always seen by the heart…
even when it hurts” — this is sooo true!! You couldn’t have said it better than that!!
An excellent poem with a great message!!
It’s great to be back at your blog, 2z.. it’s been quite a while now… my apologies for that… 😦
“Often many would sooner believe in a fairy…
than to see the truth …”
I would sooner believe in the Truth
that tells me to see fairies everywhere! 😉
Good one, Stu! Well thought out.
We all wish to know where we stand
because of relativity and,
because of our relatives.

I have tweeted your entry on my two twitter accounts! Peace be with you.
The what is, IS.
I prefer knowing “the truth” . . . as shaded as it is by the lens of our past experience.
Thanks for your post!
You said a mouthful. The truth depends on viewpoint and is easy to twist, shade, slice, dice, change, change angles to see other viewpoints, etc. You nailed it in your poem.
Thank you for the visit Dan…its good to see you! and your right those view points are quite often not mine especially when it comes to politicians! LOL! of coarse truth and politicians seem to be oil and water from my view point. Take care!
I also would rather know the truth. Well written piece, 2zpoint!
Terrific poem and I truly appreciate its sentiments.
Greetings!
Thanks for the lovely contribution to potluck on week 25,
week 26 is open NOW, we treasury your poetry
And hope to see you in shortly…old poems are welcome!

Truely true.
Truth is very complex phenomenon
Truth is often beyond our knowledge
Truth is eternal
May not be perceived as required
What is eternal is truth but may not be vice versa.
PTU
Very true! Makes a caghne to see someone spell it out like that. 🙂
