The Truth Is

The Truth Is

When you come to know the truth
It's ends up hitting hard
Whether good or bad
It changes you

The truth is,
The truth can change anything, everything
It can change how you feel
How you see the world
How you experience the world
How you live your life in general
But a lie can change even more
And that hits harder than anything

Lies change things too
The change is typically more negative though
Like I said, anything and everything will change
Because of anything and everything that happens

The truth is,
You have no control over what will happen
But you have control over how it changes you
So you might as well have it change you for the better
Even if it is a lie 
Because anything and everything can be changed 
No matter how bad it starts off
And that's just the truth
