Best Truth Hurts Poems
You’d cheated in the past, I'd felt so lost and alone
so I’m curious when you go outside to use your phone
Then you won’t let that darn mobile out of your sight
fallacious rows ensue; just where were you last night?
You say that you were working, you’re a jobbing builder
yet this extra work now gives me cause to bewilder
Then you tantalize me; say you’re telling the truth
and that you’re no longer bedding that floozy Ruth
I ask to see your phone, needing indisputable proof
that your affair’s really over between you and Ruth
You head for the door, and just turn your back on me
your continued infidelity is crystal clear for me to see
Next thing I know you begin packing your suitcase
say you’ll stay with a pal, that you need some space
The red mist comes down; I grab a long kitchen knife
plunge it deep into your chest, thereby ending your life
A vortex of scarlet blood splatters onto the kitchen floor
I eviscerate your body; as a surgeon I’ve done this before
Later I scroll through your call logs, to my shock and surprise
there's no calls to other women, you'd not been telling me lies!

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!

It’s a sudden feeling that reaches deep within
A heaviness, a pain that is not released easily
Most often, it is the truth that we want…
Until, it lands to shake the core of who we are
Stirring a mixture of questions, doubts, fears
Until, all these things can build a wall of defense
A shutdown that prevents desire to express feelings
It hurts too much, the risk is burning too high
Not again, not again
There were too many times of crushing betrayal
With only a glimpse of trust left to exist at all
There were too many times of presenting true self
Only to find out someone will not maintain respect
Only to learn there is not acceptance of authenticity
Then the world changes fast, running is the only option
Alone again, in some safe place, wherever it may be
Because truth can hurt, but the truth must be told

The truth hurts don't it
And it affects you qiuet a bit.
When you know that really you're the blame
When I was serious you took me for a game.
Acting like you're the victim
That's not even my custom.
Now you're going to make me show my ass
When I was trying to forget my pass.
Now I'm really upset
Things you want you don't always get.
Don't call me your husband any more
You didn't treat me like it before.
So it doesn't matter who you talk too
You,and I are through.
I don't care who you tell
In your heart you know why our marriage fail.
I do,and will always love you
How much? If you only knew!!!
All I wanted was affection from my wife
Couldn't get it so I'm moving on with my life.
I didn't want our marriage to end
But you took my words as pretend.
We will never ever be together again
These are my last words to you the end!!!
I'm a lonely golf ball lost in the wood,
hit by a golfer that's not very good.
Honestly I swear,
I don't think he cares.
Maybe taking a few lessons he should.

your the one i choose
when the mistress is confused
and has been misused
He’s adept at not mincing his words
Venom flows like enormous great turds
On his throne he will sit
Vitriol he will spit
Packs a punch in the heart of us birds
Some may know a man just like this
Words like fists - he slams us a kiss
He is cruel; he is curt
Using speech that could hurt
His sharp words you cannot dismiss
Can’t control what flows out from his mush
To the point - he won’t beat round the bush
There’s no compromise
No little white lies
Tells you straight that you’ve got a huge tush!

lets take a closer look
open up the good book
you'll be amazed at what you see
we as people think we free
but the bible says we living in slavery
welfare and section 8
government taxes that we must pay
project living
dope dealings, robbings and killing
fiends on the prowl
while dogs constantly growl
crack pipes in the streets
who can stand the heat?
living paycheck to paycheck
trying to figure out our next step
paying the bills
but yet and still
we in the same predicament
dreaming and wishing for lottery settlements
not knowing who we really are
steady wishing on stars
not knowing esau from Jacob
they showed our people such hatred
yet and still we kill one another
well look closer because that's your brother
we from the same tribe
our fallen brothers that have died
are turning in their graves
while you shoot, kill, rant and rave
they died for the cause
while you fools shoot just cause
they want to kill off our society
were becoming an impropriety
people walking in the streets
protesting for what they believe
police only patrol the hood
while they treat esau's people all good
Jacob gets the ladder
our people steady getting madder
esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentil soup
then gathered up his troops
and made slaves out our people
then wrote we created equal
yet we are the minority
but by who's authority?
but the bible clearly states the truth
that we the 12 tribes came from Christ roots
ceasaer white washed their faces
during the rebirth of the white civilization
our birthright and heritage is what they have taken
truth hurts that's why I wrote this poem
because so many of my people are still unknowing
To many of us running around saying I found JESUS
Hellooo! CHRIST was never lost.
He’s always been right there beside you
If you ever vowed to pay the cost.
You too afraid you friends might say
( oh they act too sanctified )!
When they are the ones everyday
That’s being pitied for their selfish pride.
Why are you constantly searching your soul
Trying to find what’s really missing in your life?
When your temper makes you the first one to scold
If someone tries to lend you spiritually advice.
Saint or sinner you have to decide
Where do you really stand !
You cant get into heaven by playing both sides
That is just not in GOD’s plan.
Why would you come to church on Sunday morning
Looking for a savior ?
When you’re in the club every Saturday night
With those same devilish behaviors.
Sure all of us have those certain temptations
That eagerly causes us to stray.
Because we know that our GOD is patient
That’s why we drop to our knees and pray.
But GOD is going to become very fed up one day
Of these things we keep doing .
So if we ‘re not ready to change our ways
Everything we live for will be ruined.
So You all have your bibles
Now read it.
You’ll find prayer is survival
And we need.
My love is an intransigent being
Though I love him more each day
I'd love him even more though
If he let me choose my own life's way
He tells me that he loves me
I tell him how I care
We love eachother dearly
Though theres something hes unaware
For all of those lovely kisses
And for all the lovely hugs
There is always something lingering
The thought of foreign drugs
Though his thoughts are somtimes subtle
Or thats what he likes to think
The thoughts are always there
And push me to the brink
My love is an intransigent being
though I love him more each day
I'd love him even more though
If he'd let me choose my own life's way
Truth Hurts but Sets You Free
I have no ounce for your feelings,
they misguide you so.
They throw you on a rollercoaster,
they shift your position to and fro.
One moment you are up,
and the next you are down,
you are acting like a yo-yo,
behaving like a clown.
You begin to yell and shout,
thinking you are justified.
You turn yourself into a public spectacle.
with every outrage, you die deep inside.
You have no idea the hurt you cause
when it is discipline that you need.
You hate what it is I say,
accusing me of being mean.
But truth be told, it is truth, you hate,
because it means you lose control.
Reality conflicts with the lies you believe,
and quite frankly, your gaslighting is getting old.
I understand you were led down a broken road.
And a paddle to the saddle you never had.
Truth and God are now your parents,
and that fact is making you mad.
But wake up, you spoiled brat,
see all that surrounds you die.
You live in a great hypocrisy,
because what you believe are all lies.
You cannot fight racism with racism.
You cannot hate men and call that love.
You cannot support women with feminism
when it’s a man you defend,
… parading as an imaginary female dove.
You cannot be for the environment
when you commit the same “crimes” you accuse “them all.”
You cannot be a vegetarian
unless you reject it all.
So, let’s be honest now, you are vain, spoiled, and angry.
and that is no way to truly live.
Jesus is who you reject,
because condemnation is all you give.
Jesus did not come for that;
he came to forgive every sin.
He died so you can live.
Now allow “love your brother” to begin.
Stop fighting and all your mischief.
Stop acting like a spoiled brat.
Start living like you preach.
Stop behaving like a rat.
Humble yourself, and in Him have faith.
Learn to live and how to forgive,
and follow His every command.
Only then you’ll stop your killing,
and with joy, truly live.
It is time for the people of the world, to stop pursuing the World,
start reading the Bible, and live a lawful, and faithful life.
Raise your boys to be men of great faith.
Raise your girls to be ladies of great faith.
And this world will be a better place.

Never think you know everything
About everyone
There is always someone
Lurking beneath the surface
It doesn't matter how well
You think you know someone
Sometimes it’s just like
You don’t know them at all
When you find out something
About someone you thought you knew
It can change your whole perspective
On that one person
And leaves you there just wondering
Why?
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.
Although they might say honesty is the best polices. Don't tell the mess to me,
honesty hurts and I already do enough hurting to me. Don't you ever fill that you
cant tell the truth just say it because you care and not because of a bad attitude.
The truth really hurts, And angry people are always willing to help spread the
good word to hell with your feelings and to any body who cares. I can take your
honesty if I thought you were truly my friend yes I no that's messed up. But a
friend wouldn't knock a friend down just to build himself up. Never the less I will
take your honesty if you must give it to me. I appreciate the time it took you to think
about me, but with all the good that honesty can bring sure seams funny how it
can causes so much pain. Although they might say honesty is the best polices.

You feel it coming, don't you boy?
I hate to say I feel it too
Things were going oh so well
But not all dreams come true
Reality comes and goes
But for the most part it is here
And what it wants to give to me
Is not what I hold dear
It makes me picture you with her
And fear it will happen again
It makes me think of many things
Like maybe how and when
Reality pushes me from you
And pushes you to her
Reality is mean and cruel
But it tells the truth, I’m sure
