Truth

I want the truth

I don't care if it kills me

I don't want lies

I don't want avoidance

I don't want fear of my feelings being hurt

I need openness

I need honesty

I need the truth

I'm tired of people walking on eggshells

Afraid of upsetting me

I'm tired of people beating around the bush

Trying to dodge being up front with me

I'm tired of having to guess and assume

Because I am never given a straight answer

I'm tired of always being the only one

To wear my heart on my sleeve

I want the truth

And I want it in full

Not some frilly

Watered down

Softened

Version of the truth

Only there as an attempt to make me feel better

Because it doesn't

The avoidance

The lies

The fear

It all only makes it harder on me

All I want is the truth

Please

Just give me the truth
