Know

KNOW

Denial is a blindfold, it helps you cope 
with the truth,
if only I could get over this wall, 
I could see it, the bright shiny penny on heads
pick it up it's good luck,
what's one penny? well put them together 
with others and  they make a whole
that is what the truth is 
a completion, an ending, a beginning
a wall that has fallen, no more climbing
to find the truth, walk steady in it's path
no more blindfold, no more denial, no more sadness
no more hidden agenda
no more drama, k.n.o.w.

Knowing can be as liberating as telling the truth, get free.
