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. Parasite Learn to place poetry before people |

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!
