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
