In an upside-down garden

0 posted 2002-09-25 10:38 AM


I don't suppose truth
can slice it's own way out
of the gum drops
and mood rings,
the raindrops and clouds.

And I wonder if I
should take hold of the knife
slice open the wound again
allow the truth to seep out
and stain my clothes.

My mood ring is amber
my fingers are cold
my heart says it's tired
my soul feels too warn
to expose the truth.

Blind ones don't see
Well, I'm blind to the core
truth is not visible
not an ounce can be seen
and I don't suppose truth.

Snowflakes and candy canes,
teddy bears, choco-later,
smiles, hugs, kisses,
maybe those would mean something
if I could suppose truth.

Truth is extremely tricky, in fact.  How can you define truth?  How can it be supposed?

In what instances is it best to let truth fester within, and when should you slice yourself open, as you put it, to stain yourself in your bitter truth?

It's really difficult to figure out at times.

Kudos on the thoughtful write.

My problem with Truth is that I never know when someone is telling me the truth, especially not when it pertains to the male gender.  This has to do with an ex-boyfriend, the evil one from hell, Justin.  Chances are, if you're a guy and you say something to me, most likely something nice, I won't believe you.  My *friend*  (you know who you are..) finds this to be frustrating, but that's the way I am.  I am not a very trusting person, I am a very truthful person.  It has caused me to loose a few friends in the past...

Anyway, yeah.  Thank you both very very much.

I have a dance tomorrow and I get to wear a pretty dress and take pictures and dance... yay!
