THE TRUTH

You tell me in my face
that I am an insensitive jerk.

My opinion annoys you that much
even when I give you the truth.

But you throw the truth away like shit.

So I keep silent
because I am not a good liar
like those hypocrites you adore so much

Sorry bitch,
I don’t gloss my lips with honey...
because my sweetness will only poison your heart.

You think that I am like you,
so I should tell you things
that you yourself would say.

But I am not like you.
I am not you.

And I don’t know what you are thinking.
All I can tell you is the truth.

But you can’t handle the truth.
You don’t even know what is true
because you don’t want to hear the truth.

All you want to hear is what you want people to say.
Your ears feed from the mouths
of pretenders and butt kissers.
