The Naked Truth

I hide in darkness

scared of light and its brightness

I have lost the support of earthlings

They manipulate me only focusing on their dealings

They change me and twist me

I have been deformed and defaced

depressed, suppressed and oppressed

just so all of you can achieve your purpose

And, you know who I am

I am the Truth

I have lost my soul

because you have mislaid yours

or filled it with darkness

There is no more faith in me

because there is no place in you for believing

I am not reliable anymore

because you have drilled holes in me

and weakened me

There is no more room in your life for me

because its too full of material luxuries

You keep on ignoring me

Yet blame me for anything that goes wrong

You know who I am

I am the Truth

I am the skeleton hidden in your closet

I am the conscience that won’t let you sleep at night

I am the little annoying voice disrupting your peace

I am the uninvited guest that materialize out of nowhere

when you least expect me

I am the Naked Truth of your life
