Truth Be Told

Closed eyes are blinded by the world, claiming that the truth is a sickness. refusing to listen to the cries of our so real suffering of the soul. We embrace the drastic changes of our society also using social media as an emotional out let, its changing and taming who we actually are or meant to be. Green eyes of envy control people, thoughts believing in negative words spoken. Closed mouths don’t gossip repeat of lies told by scoundrels. Feeding themselves mental poison. You must cry yourself to sleep every night, wishing you had someone’s else life. Losing the battle, you’re just a reflection of your former self. Try prayer God can help you with your misery. Chewing on lies cause broken teeth; repeating lying words force rotting tongues cut off by society. Looking into mirrors asking Why Me? When the truth was told to you while you were looking in the mirror. Look at what you’re going through. Your suffering is real your full of jealously, envious of someone you don’t even know. Knowing the truth of who you are. Your pain is deep those eyes never lie. You cry yourself to sleep, don’t you? Bad attitudes, vindictiveness cause wrinkling to your face force to wearing a mask put on daily; that was never who you were meant to be. pounds of flesh and sin. Holding on to revenge when you were your own enemy. Closed mouths won’t get feed though closed mouths won’t repeat lies. Why are you angry with yourself? I’m thankful every day when my eyes open though your hoping wishing the worst for someone else. I watch the world with our broken society wondering how long can we over look the truth. I have a theory about close mouth look at yourself in the mirror tell yourself about the truth of who you are. What makes you better than the person you gossip about? lip locking exchanging lies with others so that you may free some of the pain of who you are.
