As scathing as a sharp sword
Truth hits my spine deep
I can’t let go off truth
Truth basically lies with the beholder
Renouncing that, I can’t
Like a sharp object on a scar, so is truth,
Verity is simultaneously sharp, deep
I can’t let go off truth
I don’t want to enslave self with lies
Like lice syphoning blood from a human being
Truth drips overflows my ridge
I can’t let go off truth.
My membranes are weak in a week
Tightened like an overstretched artery
My veins blow up in brooks
I can’t let go off truth
Truth lies deep in thee
Like poisoned milk, I gulp
As if it were the last drip to survive,
I can’t let go off truth
