Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Truth Hurts

Deep in my mind, I see the truth
Deep in my heart, I can feel it
Truth is the way, but not easy
Watching evil and all the decay
I fought for justice years ago
I faced corruption all of the time
When there is a network, it’s done
Justice isn’t possible without many people
My best friend who was a Lieutenant,
Gave me the 2 ½ best years of my life
       He was killed in the process
He sacrificed his life, doing what is right
           It will be with me forever
The truth hurts deeply, it always will
But without truth, nothing will change!
