Not all truths are easy to bear. Sometimes they may further complicate the matters.

Truth

They say truth, sets you free

Does it really, lets you be

But it almost never

Pan out like that

It pulls one down

Dumps in morass

Of ifs and buts

Hows and why’s

High one moment

Low in the next

Tied to the truth

At one end

One keeps swinging

By the thread

Not sure of landing

Anywhere
