The Truth Hurts

Why does the truth hurt?
Because we lie
That’s no lie
Even, I lie

And That's the truth

That's why the truth hurts

When Truth Hurts

Like looking in  a mirror,
and being shown not fresh youth
but ragged age, lost dreams---
but good for the soul it is
I'm sure...mea culpa,
my bad

you can tell your youth
so why be dirt

Tell Me No Lies

Tell me no lies
Praise me when I do achieve and cradle me when I cry.
If you have to be cruel to be kind, dry my eyes with tissues when the truth hurts deep but tell me no lies.

The Truth Hurts

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.

PARADOX OF LIFE

Some people live in pretense to show bliss when they are sad for truth hurts.

Eventually the Truth Gets Reveled

The truth hurts me, like a sad love story. 
I try to alter it with dis-belief. 
This with trying make it the truth for people to see. 
Eventually people solved the mystery. 
The truth became a lie that is snoring

Premium Member Lapses

Time bolts away that bright lightning flash
Space contains empty that blind dash
Nothing much except deeds trashed
Vain regrets cluster pain
Dread reveals disdain
Truth hurts most plain
Then true light
Fills sight
Bright

Premium Member If Truth Hurts

If truth hurts, accept anyway Getting straight to the root Discern cause that makes us so sway Then give darkness the boot Mindful eye, cognisant Being here, now present Grants not dark fears consent Sorrow spurts If truth hurts 24-November-2021 Quietus

Ideology

If the world is destroyed,
If the air turns hurt,
If the pains are severe,
If love turns to hatred,
There is only one thing left.

If I fail this day,
If I die tonight,
If the truth hurts,
like slave master's steel,

I swear never
to cry,
for I know

there’s one
thing left:

ideology.

Premium Member Skeletons

As the skeletons 
fall out 
of the cupboard 
spiders 
webs attached 
the distraction 

slowly crawls out 
a web of lies 
like leaches 
you drained 
me of all truth
 
sucked in with lies 
like a snake 
i swallowed everyone 
now i spit them back 
with venom
 
truth hurts 
cutting you 
to the bone 
as the skeletons 
come out 
the inner shell 
off you

Premium Member Truth Hurts

Truth hurts, which is why the wise
Shield it from the weak;
The young, the sick, the grieving, the old.
But the truth is
And there is really no escaping it.
We can try
We can run, we can hide, we can work ourselves
Or medicate ourselves 
Into oblivion,
But in the end the truth will out
As we’re left standing naked
Before the mirror of our mind.

The Truth Hurts

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?

They'Re Always Watching

You can never hide.
Hide your feelings inside.
Inside lies a bunch of lies.
Lies that will never be kept on your blindside. 

You make sure that you’re alone.
Alone is not the truth.
Truth hurts the most.
Most will watch you go poof. 

Insecurity is your best friend.
Friends will leave you at the end.
End of the day is a struggle.
Struggle is easy to attend.

Still

Sometimes when she is on my mind,
I let her make my memories blind,
And forget how she left me behind,
How I would be undermined,
My life lit up then thrown aside,
The sanity I never did find,
How after we would lay entwined,
Where I stood would be defined,
And she left me to myself remind,
That nevermore would she be mine.

This truth hurts, and that is why,
I think about her all the time.

Premium Member Knowledge

Never believe what other people believe 
Because the beliefs of others might not be yours

Always question yourself and search for the truth. 

Sometimes the truth hurts but it is better to know
Than to think you know. 

Knowledge is a strong defence against 
Unknowing 

Don't just take for granted what other people say
Think for yourself. 

Be the open minded person that you are meant 
To be.

My Pen Is Never Shy

My pen is never shy,
Not too proud to not tell,
Not too vexed to lie,
The truth and all the flaws it shares,
Its manifestation above reality,
Its distinction and authenticity,
Such an exceptional piece, a pin pointed ball in ink
No matter what the color is genuine it remains,

Fluently is all it says,
Perfect it ain’t, but full of care
Yet the truth hurts,
But understand I cry at times and still roll with times

Dust From the Past

At first, I thought that we could be together
You made me happy and made me burst into laughter
You were there when I'm sad
You wiped my tears and told me "Please don't be mad."

But now, I've realized the mere fact
The truth hurts like you've been hit by a truck
I hope that my heart would mend as soon as possible
Even though I know it's very impossible

I know someday, maybe someday
I'll be over you night and day

What Hurts More

What hurts more, the truth?, or the fact you knew you were right all along. Why do lies seem more believable?, than the truth itself. Why do people pretend things aren't happening?, when they really are. Why do people put faith in other people?, only to be let down. Why do people keep trying to love?, only to be hurt again. The truth hurts yes, knowing the truth before hearing it is worse. M.Mahauariki © 2012

Names

the truth is in the rhyme
of sticks and stones and
things are said all the time
that bleed us 'cause we let 'em

the truth is, that the truth hurts
yet we suffer too, the lie
spoken words thoughtlessly blurted
mistold, mistaken, or misapplied

so what adage do we use to heal
pride bruised from hurtful taunt
good self-esteem and spirit reveal
a self-worth free from want 

bones to pick, and stones to toss
won't allow regard to get across

The Truth Hurts

Walking down the block with a dime in her hand 
Still in her stomach is a seed from another man
Her mans not home but he's got a rock in his hand
She's going crazy cuz she knows that she did him wrong
In her mind all she hears is that same old song 
The one they used to listen to 
The one that describes it all
Three days pass by and theres still no call
Not even a letter 
i know God can make it better.....
And now it makes sense!.....
He loved,loved in past tense.

The Truth Hurts

How do U know what is right...
When it's so complicated?
So many underlying factors,
Deep down U know it's so wrong.
Feeling like a horrible person for doing what U feel is so right?
One decision makes you a good person in doing what's right?
However, the other decision makes U feel like the worst person in the world? 
Making the choice feels so hard.
Even though making the choice U know is right...
Doesn't make it an easy choice.
What does one do, when the truth hurts?
