Constant Truth

Why I chose the poetry stage name: Constant Truth

I constantly speak truth
 But you may not like to hear it.
 I always speak the truth
 And I’m sorry if you fear it.
 I use honesty with tact;
 I don’t intend to cause harm.
 I am Constant Truth,
 There’s no cause for alarm.
 My name is Constance;
 My mother named me right.
 I stay the same, constant,
 Despite the change in sight.
 Lies hurt more than truth
 And I’m not a Constant Liar.
 If you want the truth,
 Then step into my line of fire.
