Truth Hurts

If it makes you uncomfortable
get comfortable.
If it makes you question it
ask more of it. 
If you go beyond the foundation
build on it. 
If it makes you say, "Naw, you are wrong
because such and such says." 
Ask yourself, what or who are they to you?"
The things you hold true are nothing
more than LEGOs arranged a certain way.
Everyone has a but this,
Some of us question it without
running from it
Others tuck it away until it is time
for truth to be revealed.
Here is the reality,
my Lego house isn't any different than yours.
You step on one piece barefoot
we all say, "Ouch" the same.
How it got there is irrelevant.
All it took was one peice
to make you question all of it.
