Visiting Room Blues

I need to exhale,
Expressing my inner feelings in a nutshell.
Let me contemplate what I should say - 
To tell the truth, yeah or nay.
Yeah, and I'm alone,
She walks out for good.
Nay, I'm a liar,
Stuck in the same place I've always stood.
Each equally important to me,
And that's cause for concern.
I can't choose, which is why I never learn.
Integrity is what I truely hope for, 
Insincerity is what I seem to have ample supply in store.
I will be honest when the time is right,
It's just not today, or tonight.
