The Truth

the truth is what you find
if that is what you seek
the moment of clarity comes
early morning when I'm most weak

thoughts that weighed too heavy
whenever my mind would stray
seeping from every pore
no longer held at bay

didn't want to see it
subliminal signs were there 
rising to my heart's surface
laying it stripped bare

gonna follow my heart
to see where it all leads
if it is everlasting
or a flash that will recede
