Have Or Have Not

Appreciate the truth
Do you? 
Would you rather a person not telling you
And let you go on your merry way without knowing?
When someone chooses to tell you things
That alone tells you that they trust in you
They shouldn’t even have to tell you
But they choose to
Are they close enough to you?
What makes them decide to tell you?
If it is not to your benefits
And theirs
Openness is what you should aim for
Whatever it is
If one cannot speak his/her mind
One would feel suppressed, stopped in mid flow
You don’t want to be the cause of someone’s stoppage
So let it be known
And take it
Because truth is stranger than fiction
It has a way to send you soaring
Above what you think you can handle it
And ultimately to the place of fulfillment 
That only true haven can create
Where freedom exists
And transparency can occur
Would you rather they tell you
Or withhold it from you?
I think you would choose the latter
Don’t hide it from me
I can take it
Truth, remember?
Haha
