Truths Denied

Sometimes truth is a hard thing to have

I am not a perfect girl,
and so often I fail with the truth;
I thrive for sincerity, honesty, integrity, openness and for genuineness,
and know what my wisdom gathered says about being truthful.


And I know right and wrong,
I know what I have read in Bible scriptures;
but sometimes I have lied to protect another persons soul.

Have said that I didn't cry when I definitely did,
denied my biggest fear and deep hidden secrets;
and the life mistakes- I made.

Yes, a thing is either true or it is not.
but my spiritual self wavers on this often;
for sometimes the truth is hurtful
like when mother asked- Will I die ?
